1. Christ is born of maiden fair;
Hark the heralds in the air,
Thus adoring descant there,
"In excelsis gloria."
2. Shepherds saw those Angels bright,
Carolling in glorious light;
"God, His Son, is born tonight,"
"In excelsis gloria."
3. Christ is come to save mankind,
As in holy page we find,
Therefore this song bear in mind,
"In excelsis gloria."
