[ Featuring The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square ]
Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the Earth;
Ye who sang Creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night;
God with man is now residing,
Yonder shines the Infant Light.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Sages leave your contemplations:
Brighter visions beam afar.
Seek the Great Desire of Nations:
Ye have seen His natal star.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear:
Suddenly the Lord descending,
In His temple shall appear.
Though an Infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to Him;
Every knee shall then bow down.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria Deo!
