The prophets foretold of the glorious day How the promised Messiah would come Born by a virgin, of humble estate The Day of Atonement would dawn
The people rejoice as deliverance nears A lowly Babe sent to save The immortal God now as incarnate man The advent of grace is displayed
(Chorus) Gloria, Gloria In excelsis deo Glory to God, glory to God In the highest
The nations concede to the kingdom at hand As the great throne of David is claimed The High Priest has come to atone for our sin On Christ all our sins were laid
The Father is pleased by the work of His hand Finding joy in His sovereignty Immanuel comes now to reconcile man With angelic procession we sing
(Repeat Chorus)
Fall on your knees now and worship the King Who in our depravity came Lift up your eyes to the wondrous light That all generations proclaim
