GLORIA IN EXCELSIS by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: TIS CHRISTMAS NIGHT! AGAIN
Last Line: WITH HEAVENLY LOVE!
Subject(s): CHRISTMAS; NATIVITY, THE;
'Tis Christmas night! Again --
But not from heaven to earth --
Rings forth the old refrain
"A Saviour's Birth!"

Nay, listen, 'tis below!
A song that soars above
From human hearts aglow
With heavenly love!
