Lyrics
Good people of God, rejoice ans sing.
Prepare to meet your newborn King.

The waiting is over, Messiah has come.
Open your hearts and receive God's son.

Welcome the Child of Light,
The bright morning star that illuminates the night,
The hope of the ages, the Savior of all;
Welcome the Child of Light.
Welcome the Child of Light.

This, this is Christ, the King,
Whom shepherds guard and angel sing.
Haste, haste to bring Him laud,
The babe, the son of Mary!

Shepherds were watching their flock by night
When lo, there appeared a wondrous sight.
Angels announced the glorious birth,
Goodwill to all and peace on earth!

Glo---ria in excelsis Deo!
Glo—ria in excelsis Deo!

Welcome the Child of Light,
The bright morning star that illuminates the night,
The hope of the ages, the Savior of all;
Welcome the Child of Light.
Welcome the Child of Light.

Welcome the Child- of- Light-!
