Gloria In Excelsis Lyrics

	Al Jarreau - Gloria in Excelsis

	O blessed town
	Of Bethlehem
	Within thy gray
	Green shade
	Ringed round
	With
	Terraced vineyard
	And depth
	Of olive glade
	There on thy high
	Green pastures
	The shepherds
	Watch their sheep
	The low large moon
	Shines glim'ring
	O'er all
	The upland steep

	What music
	Of the heavens
	What magic song
	Of bliss
	What vision
	Of the night-tide
	What mystic light
	Is this?
	The silly sheep
	Are blinded
	The shepherds
	In amaze
	Stand awe-struck
	All the hillside
	With glory
	Is abaze

	The angels'
	Joyous

	Chorus:
	Rings out
	Into the night
	O Gloria
	In excelsis
	Sing praises
	In the height
	Sing praises
	Men of Bethlehem

	Sing praises
	Here below
	For peace
	On Earth
	And goodwill
	He doth
	On your bestow

	For on this day
	Is born there
	Within
	Your little town
	A Child
	Who Christ
	The Lord is
	Yet wears
	No earthly crown
	He bringeth joy
	And gladness
	To you
	And all mankind
	Yea
	Peace on earth
	And good-will
	To men
	Of equal mind

	O blessed town
	Of Bethlehem
	How happy
	Is thy state
	How blest
	Above all palaces
	The stable
	At thy gate
	For there
	In manger-cradle
	(Oh
	true the angel word)
	As King enthroned
	Of all the worlds
	Reigns Jesus Christ
	The Lord
