Sheet music

  1. 1When the crimson sun is setLow behind the wintry sea,On the bright and cold midnightBursts a sound of heav'nly glee:*Gloria in excelsis Deo:Gloria in excelsis Deo.
  2. 2Shepherds watching by their fold,On the crisp and hoary plain,In the sky bright hosts espy,Singing in a gladsome strain:*Gloria in excelsis Deo:Gloria in excelsis Deo.
