"Angels We Have Heard On High" lyrics

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

Oh

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
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new-born 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

Glory, let the angels sing, in excelsis, in excelsis Deo
Glory to the new-born king, in excelsis Deo

Glory, let the angels sing, in excelsis, in excelsis Deo
Glory to the new-born king, in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo

Glory, let the angels sing, in excelsis, in excelsis Deo
Glory to the new-born king, in excelsis Deo

In excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo, Deo
