Gloria in Exelsis Deo Mormon Tabernacle Choir Orchestra at Temple Square Bells on Temple Square Dancers (from ?) Craig Jessop, director Richard Elliott, organist Angels from the glory, Hear our joyful song below, For tonight we sing the story Heard by sheperds long ago. Though at first they trembled, fearing, Wond’rous tidings bid them rise, Heav’nly hosts then bright appearing Sang these praises in the the skies. Chorus: Gloria in excelsis Deo! Peace on earth good will to men! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Hasten now to Bethlehem! All good souls who’ve gone before us, Hear the ancient Christmas lay, On this night we join in chorus, On this night we join in chorus, “Love came down this Holy Day!” He awaits us in the manger Smiling there in purest white. Unto us He is no stranger, But Creator, Life, and Light! Chorus Heav’n and the nature here abiding, Hear the chimes of ages ring! Woods and rivers shout glad tidings, Tell the wonders of your King! Mountains cry aloud forever, Solid rocks now weep for joy! Sun, moon, stars all sing together! Let this song our hearts employ! Chorus Amen!
