Gloria In Excelsis - Al Jarreau

Oh, blessed town of Bethlehem

Within thy gray green shade

Ringed round with terraced vineyard

And depth of olive glade

There on thy high green pastures

The shepherds watch their sheep

The low large moon shines glim'ring

O'er all the upland steep

What music of the heavens

What magic song of bliss

What vision of the night tide

What mystic light is this?

The silly sheep are blinded

The shepherds in amaze

Stand awe-struck, all the hillside

With glory is ablaze

The angels'

Joyous

Rings out into the night

O Gloria in excelsis

Sing praises in the height

Sing praises, men of Bethlehem

Sing praises here below

For peace on Earth

And goodwill

He doth on your bestow

For on this day is born there

Within your little town

A Child who Christ the Lord is

Yet wears no earthly crown

He bringeth joy and gladness

To you and all mankind

Yeah, peace on earth

And good-will to men of equal mind

Oh, blessed town of Bethlehem

How happy is thy state

How blest above all palaces

The stable at thy gate

For there in manger-cradle

(Oh, true the angel word)

As King enthroned

Of all the worlds

Reigns Jesus Christ the Lord
