Angels We Have Heard on High

Lyrics

1. 1. Angels we have heard on high

   Sweetly singing o’er the plains,

   And the mountains in reply

   Echoing their joyous strains.

2. [Chorus]

   Gloria in excelsis Deo.

   Gloria in excelsis Deo.

3. 2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?

   Why your joyous strains prolong?

   What the gladsome tidings be

   Which inspire your heav’nly song?

4. 3. Come to Bethlehem and see

   Him whose birth the angels sing;

   Come, adore on bended knee

   Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
