Angels We Have Heard On High

VERSE 1:

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

CHORUS 1:

Gloria

In excelsis Deo

VERSE 2:

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heav'nly song

CHORUS 2:

Gloria

In excelsis Deo

Gloria

In excelsis Deo

VERSE 3:

Come to Bethlehem and see

Christ whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King

VERSE 4:

See Him in a manger laid

Whom the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend you aid

While our hearts in love we raise
