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 joy astray. 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 Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo. See Him in the manger lay Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth Mary Joseph, lend your aid With us sing our Savior's birth Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
