Gloria
(Tune: Angels I Have Heard On High)
Snow lies deep upon the Earth
Still our voices warmly sing
Heralding the glorious birth
Of the Child, the Winter King
(Chorus)
Glo -- ria!
In excelsis Deo! (pronounced in-egg-shells-seize de-o)
Glo -- ria!
In excelsis Dea!
Our triumphant voices claim
Joy and hope and love renewed
And our Lady's glad refrain
Answer Winter's solitude
(Chorus)
In Her arms a holy Child
Promises a glowing Light
Through the winter wind so wild
He proclaims the growing Light.
(Chorus)
Now the turning of the yearOf the greater Turning sings
Passing age of cold and fear
Soon our golden summer brings.
(Chorus)
