Joyful, joyful, Lord we adore Thee God of glory, Lord of love Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee Opening to the sun above Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light of day
Angels we have heard on high Sweetly swinging o´er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high Sweetly, sweetly through the night And the mountains in reply Echoing their brief delight
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 Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo
Glory to the newborn King Glory to the newborn King Glory to the newborn King Glory, He´s the King of the earth Glory, we´ll come and see Him Glory, we´ll look upon His face Glory, we´ll hold Him, God, the Father
