Angels we have heard on high

Music-control panel orNew window

Angels we have heard on high,
sweetly singing o'er the plains.
And the mountains in reply,
echo back 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 heavenly song.

Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ 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.
