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

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King

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
