"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

Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo

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

Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo, 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

Singing gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, gloria
In excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo
