Gloria! (The Song Of The Shepherd)

(アルバム： Christmas Stories: Repeat The Sounding Joy - 2012)

After the angel's song
Everyone held their breath
As the darkness rushed back in upon those shepherd boys
Staring into the night
Climbing up off their knees
With their hearts on fire, they were trembling with fear and joy

Gloria, Gloria!
It was a choir of angels singing
The shepherd's ears were ringing
They were ringing with
Gloria, Gloria!
Now everything is going to change
Christ the Lord is born today

Racing down from the hills
Running like children run
Reckless and wild with a song that made them young again
As the field beneath their feet
Turned into city streets
They were crying out have you heard, have you heard oh Bethlehem?!

Gloria, Gloria!
It was a choir of angels singing
The shepherd's ears were ringing
They were ringing with
Gloria, Gloria!
Now everything is going to change
Christ the Lord is born today

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

Gloria, Gloria!
The shepherds they were singing
Now all our ears are ringing
They're still ringing with
Gloria, Gloria!
Now everything is going to change
Christ the Lord is born today
Gloria, glory to God, glory to God!
Gloria, glory to God, glory to God
In excelsius Deo

One day he'll come again
To bring us a brand new song
But till then we'll sing along with those shepherd boys
