Angels We Have Heard On High

Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Alleluia, alleluia
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why's your joyous song prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
That inspired this heavenly song?

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Oh, come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our newborn King

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo

Gloria in Excelsis Deo
