Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing over the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

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

Gloria
Gloria
Gloria

See Him in a manger laid
Jesus, Lord of Heaven and Earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth

Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
