Hear the quiet of the starry night

Scattered shepherds watch the sky

Suddenly the dark gives way to light

The angel speaks of the Messiah


Be of good courage

See the star hovering above

Today a Savior is born to us


Glory, glory in the highest

We sing glory to His name

Peace on Earth to all who come

To worship Christ the King

We sing, glory in the highest

In the highest


See the God who spoke the earth to be

Take a break as a baby

Look beyond the child and see the King

Come to rescue and redeem


Glory, glory in the highest

We sing glory to His name

Peace on Earth to all who come

To worship Christ the King

We sing, glory in the highest

In the highest


Gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, gloria, in excelsis Deo


Glory, glory in the highest

We sing glory to His name

Peace on Earth to all who come

To worship Christ the King

We sing, glory...

Glory, glory in the highest

We sing glory to His name

Peace on Earth to all who come

To worship Christ the King

We sing, glory in the highest

Glory, in the highest

In the highest
