The unfathomable Holiness of God contrasts the obvious imperfection of the human race. Yet, He stooped down.

This is the core message of Christmas, and it gives me chills every time I think about it.

Merry Christmas!

[IN]
Gloria!
(Gloria in excelsis Deo)

[V1]
What no man could hope for now conceived.
Earth is raised to heaven on this eve.
God on earth and man in heaven, who can such a wonder fathom,
For where God wills there nature yields!

[CH.]
Glory cry the angel choirs,
Glory fills creation song!
Hope of hearts more pure desires,
unto us the Lord God is born.

[V2]
Sprung from Jesse’s root the promised Son,
Hope of prophets, our desired one,
Key of David, Star of Light,
Man is raised to raised to heaven’s height,
Rejoice for our Emmanuel is come!

[CH.]
Glory cry the angel choirs,
Glory fills creation song!
Hope of hearts more pure desires,
unto us the Lord God is born.

Word of God made flesh in perfect love,
Man made Son of God to reign above.
God descends in mortal flesh; man is clothed in holiness,
The child is born to set the nations free!

[CH.]
Glory cry the angel choirs,
Glory fills creation song!
Hope of hearts more pure desires,
unto us the Lord God is born.

The Lord God is born.
