ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high,

Sweetly singing o'er the plain,

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strain:

Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains 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, whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, our Lord, the new-born king.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
