Theme  -  Christmas, celebrating the birth of Jesus, joy, praise, gospel

Content  -  This song is ideal for the shepherds’ scene in a nativity, as the angels bring the news. Hallelujah!  The song is very simple to learn, and with its rousing gospel feel, children find it very uplifting to sing. One of our singers described it as making her feel ‘bubbly inside’!  While even the youngest of children can sing the main melody, the optional second and third parts are very easy to learn and exciting for older children to sing.

Glory to God in the highest!

Peace to all people on earth,

Glory to God in the highest!

Let’s celebrate Jesus’ birth!

The King is born!

Sing now the King is born!

Celebrate! Celebrate! Celebrate!
