Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains



Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo



Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song?



Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo



Come to Bethlehem and see

In whose birth the angels sing

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King



Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo



See Him in a manger laid

Whom the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we raise



Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
