Behold, a virgin shall be with child

Behold, a virgin shall be with child,
And shall bring forth a son,
And they shall call his name Emmanuel,
God is with us, 
God is with us,
God is with us,
God is with us,
Gloria in excelsis, 
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria, in excelsis,
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo. 
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, 
And shall bring forth a son.
Behold, a virgin shall be with child, 
And shall bring forth a son.
