After the angel’s song
E
Everyone held their breath
E
As the dark-ness rushed back
E
in upon those shepherd boys

Staring into the night
E
Climbing up off their knees
E
With their hearts on fire, they were
E B
tremb-ling with fear and joy
[Chorus]

Gloria, Gloria!

It was a choir of angels singing
F#m A
The shepherd’s ears were ringing
They were ringing with
C#m E
Gloria, Gloria!

Now everything is going to change
F#m A
Christ the Lord is born to - day
[Verse]
E (Guitar Throughout)
Racing down from the hills
E
Running like children run
E C#m*
Reckless and wild with a song that
E B* C#m* B*
made them young again

As the field beneath their feet
E
Turned into city streets
E C#m
They were crying out have you heard,
B
have you heard oh Bethlehem?!
[Chorus]

Gloria, Gloria!

It was a choir of angels singing

In a land under the rule
A E
Of the priests and kings
B
Only shepherds heard the song
A E
That the angels sing
C#m E
The humble are the keepers of the secrets
A B
of the Kingdom that is coming
C#m E
With a song that will break upon the world
A B
like 10,000 horses running
[Chorus]

The shepherds they were singing

In excelsius D-e-o

E
One day he’ll come again

To bring us a brand new song
E
But till then we’ll sing
E
a-long with those shepherd boys
