Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'ver the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why yours joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the angel sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
