1. From heav’n the Lord of glory came to earth;
The angel Gabriel announced His birth,
“He shall be great and called the Son of the Highest.”
All praise to God the Saviour, Gloria!

2. In wonder did the virgin Mary say,
“My soul doth magnify the Lord this day,
For he that is mighty hath done to me great things.
All praise to God my Saviour, Gloria!”

3. The angel of the Lord to shepherds came,
“Glad tidings unto you I now proclaim!
To you is born a Saviour which is Christ the Lord!”
All praise to God the Saviour, Gloria!

4. With haste the shepherds to the manger ran,
And saw the Holy Child, the Son of man,
And then made known abroad the things which they had seen.
All praise to God their Saviour, Gloria!

5. Led by the star the wise men came to seek,
He who was born the King of kings so meek!
And finding Him they fell and worshiped at His feet.
All praise to God their Saviour, Gloria!

6. The Son of God from all eternity
Did condescend in great humility.
The Word incarnate, God with us, what mystery!
All praise to God our Saviour, Gloria!

7. This day our hearts with gladness now can sing,
For Christ our Lord did our salvation bring
To set us free from all our sin and Satan’s pow’r.
All praise to God our Saviour, Gloria!
