[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
[Refrain]
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
