Angels We Have Heard on High Lyrics

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing over the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birthy 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 a manger laid
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
