Angels We Have Heard on High

1) Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Refrain Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! 2) Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? Refrain Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! 3) Come to Bethlehem and see Christ Whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Refrain Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! 4) See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise. Refrain Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
