Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo,
In excelsis Deo

Verse 1
In the darkness we were waiting without hope, without light
'Til from Heaven You came running, there was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfill the law and prophets, to a virgin came the word
From a throne of endless glory to a cradle in the dirt
Oh
Chorus
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
Oh
Verse 2
To reveal the kingdom coming and to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation, You did not despise the cross
For even in Your suffering, You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation, Jesus, for our sake You died
Chorus
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
Yeah
Verse 3
And the morning that You rose, all of Heaven held its breath
'Til that stone was moved for good, for the Lamb had conquered death
And the dead rose from their tombs, and the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who'd come, to the Father are restored
Verse 4
And the church of Christ was born then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old, shall not kneel and shall not faint
And by His blood and in His name, in His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ who has resurrected me
Chorus
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, three in one
God of glory, Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings
Outro
Praise forever to the King of Kings

Rey de reyes
VERSO 1:
En la oscuridad estaba
Toda la humanidad
Hasta que desde los cielos
Nos viniste a rescatar
A través de una virgen
Elegiste tú nacer
Y del trono descendiste
A un pesebre siendo Rey
CORO:
Gloria al Padre
Nuestro Dios
Gloria al Hijo
El Salvador
Gloria al Santo Espíritu
Rey de reyes nadie hay como tú
VERSO 2:
Para revelar tu Reino
Y alcanzar al pecador
A la cruz no te negaste
Para darnos salvación
Aun en tu sufrimiento
Tú veías más allá
No pensaste en el precio
Te entregaste en mi lugar
VERSO 3:
Al tercer amanecer
Todo el cielo resonó
Pues la muerte para siempre
El Cordero conquistó
Y la tumba se abrió
Y vacía ahora está
Todas las generaciones
Esperanza encontrarán
VERSO 4:
Y la Iglesia comenzó
Por su Espíritu nació
Buenas Nuevas por los siglos
Para toda la creación
Por su sangre y por su nombre
Libres somos por la fe
Jesucristo ha vencido
Nos resucitó con Él
