Angels We Have Heard On High Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
CHORUS 1:
Gloria
In excelsis Deo

VERSE 2:
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song
CHORUS 2:
Gloria
In excelsis Deo
Gloria
In excelsis Deo

VERSE 3:
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
VERSE 4:
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend you aid
While our hearts in love we raise
