Shepherds in the field abiding

Tell us when the seraph bright

Greeted you with wondrous tiding

What you saw and heard that night

Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria in excelsis deo

We beheld it it is no fable

God incarnate king of bliss

Swathed and cradled in a stable

And the angel strain was this

Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria in excelsis deo

Choristers on high were singing

Jesus and his virgin birth

Heavenly bells the while a-ring

Peace good will to men on earth

Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria in excelsis deo

Thanks good herdmen true your story

Have with you to bethlehem

Angels hymn the king of glory

Carol we with you and them

Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria in excelsis deo
