O dark was the night and cold blew the wind, But Joseph and Mary no shelter could find; In all the fair city of Bethlehem, In cottage or inn was no room for them. [Chorus] Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis, Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2. But in a poor stable their couch was made, And low in a manger the Babe was laid, O fair was the Child, the mother how fair! But only the oxen stood waiting there! [Chorus] 3. But out on the hills was a wondrous light, And heavenly music entranced the night; And beasts of the field were roused in their lair By the sound of voices and harps in the air. [Chorus] 4. And shepherds a watching their flocks by night Espied in the heavens a marvellous sight; Of angels and spirits a mighty throng, For joy and great gladness singing this song: [Chorus] 5. O come then, ye faithful, ye men of good will, Let joy and thanksgiving every heart fill; Tell out the glad tidings that Jesus has come, To open the way to the heavenly home.
