Description: | 1. On this day earth shall ring
With the song child-ren sing
To the Son, Christ the King,
Born on earth to save us;
Him the Fa-ther gave us.
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, Glo-ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o!
2. His the doom, ours the mirth,
When He came down to earth;
Beth-le-hem saw His birth;
Ox and ass be-side Him,
From the cold would hide Him,
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, Glo-ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o!
3. God’s bright star, o’er His head,
Wise men three to Him led;
Kneel they low by His bed,
Lay their gifts be-fore Him,
Praise Him and a-dore Him.
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, Glo-ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o!
4. On this day an-gels sing;
With their song earth shall ring,
Prais-ing Christ, heav-en’s King,
Born on earth to save us;
Peace and love He gave us.
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, -o, -o,
I-de-o, Glo-ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o! |
