Angels We have Heard on high Lyrics
1. Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain.
Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your joyous song.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
3. Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth and angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lords, the new-born King.
Glory in excelsis Deo.
4. See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid while
our hearts in love we raise.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
