When We Behold (In Excelsis)

Verse 1

When we behold that scene long ago
Shepherds in fields under cover of night
Breaking the silence, a heavenly choir
As angels appeared in glorious light

Chorus

All glory to God in the highest!
All glory to God in the highest!
Praise be to Him, and peace unto us
All glory to God in the high - est!

Verse 2

Wise men came seeking the Light of the World
Followed the star that was formed by His breath
There in the chaos, the true Prince of Peace
As they adored Him, now let us confess

Chorus

All glory to God in the highest!
All glory to God in the highest!
Praise be to Him, and peace unto us
All glory to God in the high - est!

Bridge

Gloria, gloria, glori - a in excel - sis Deo
Gloria, gloria, glori - a in excel - sis Deo
Gloria, gloria, glori - a in excel - sis Deo
Glori - a in excel - sis Deo

Chorus

All glory to God in the highest!
All glory to God in the highest!
Praise be to Him, and peace unto us
All glory to God in the high - est!

Verse 3

And when we sur vey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
We sing how He came on so holy a night
Born for a death that became our new life
