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 joyous strains 

Gloria, in excelsis deo 
Gloria, in excelsis deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee? 
Why your joyous strains prolong? 
Say what may the tidings be 
Which inspire your heav’nly 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 
God, our world now entering 

Gloria, in excelsis deo 
Gloria, in excelsis deo

See the babe in manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise 
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid 
While our hearts in love we raise

Gloria, in excelsis deo 
Gloria, in excelsis deo
