High in the sky a star is aglow,
cast ing bright beauty here below.
A wave of salvation comes with the dawn:
born of a virgin is the Son.
Heaven and earth sing
‘Alleluia! Jesus is born! Gloria!’
Lying on the straw in a poor cattle stall
Rest our dear Lord, the King of all.
The people rush in and kneel on the floor,
Greeting the child whom they adore.
Heaven and earth sing
‘Alleluia! Jesus is born! Gloria!’
Blessings we bring you, baby new born,
Yours is the glory on this morn.
Grant us your sweet love, and with you we'll stay;
Nothing can ever force us away
Heaven and earth sing
‘Alleluia! Jesus is born! Gloria!’
