| And the stars were shining
 | 
| Distant bells were ringing
 | 
| Heavenly voices were singing
 | 
| All through the night, all through the night
 | 
| Angels we have heard on high
 | 
| Sweetly singing o’er the plains
 | 
| And the mountain in reply
 | 
| Echoing their joyous strains
 | 
| Gloria in Excelsis Deo
 | 
| Gloria in Excelsis Deo
 | 
| (Shepherds why this jubilee?
 | 
| Why your joyous strains prolong?
 | 
| Say what may the tidings be
 | 
| Which inspire your heavenly song?)
 | 
| Gloria in Excelsis Deo
 | 
| Gloria in Excelsis Deo
 | 
| Come to Bethlehem and see
 | 
| Him Whose birth the angels sing
 | 
| Come, adore on bended knee
 | 
| Christ the Lord, the newborn King
 | 
| (Gloria in Excelsis Deo)
 | 
| Angels we have heard on high
 | 
| Sweetly singing o’er the plains
 | 
| And the mountain in reply
 | 
| Echoing their joyous strains
 | 
| Gloria in Excelsis Deo
 | 
| Gloria in Excelsis Deo (In Excelsis, In Excelsis Deo, In Excelsis,
 | 
| In Excelsis Deo)
 | 
| Joy to the world, the Lord has come
 | 
| Let earth receive her King
 | 
| Let every heart prepare Him room
 | 
| And heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing
 | 
| And heaven, and heaven and nature sing
 | 
| (Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
 | 
| Let men their songs employ)
 | 
| While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
 | 
| (Repeat the sounding joy) The sounding joy
 | 
| (Repeat the sounding joy) Repeat the sounding joy
 |

 | 
| And makes the nations prove
 | 
| The glories of His righteousness
 | 
| And wonders of His love, and wonders of His love
 | 
| And wonders, wonders of His love
 | 
| Joy to the world, the Lord has come
 | 
| Let earth receive her King
 | 
| Let every heart prepare Him room
 | 
| And heaven and nature sing (nature sing), and heaven and nature sing (nature
