"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 in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo

Shepherds, why this exaltation?
Why your joyous strain prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo

Come to Bethlehem and see Him
Oh, whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
