Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o'er the plains
and the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strains
Angels We Have Heard On High (Gloria)
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 What the gladsome 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 Christ the Lord, the new-born King Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo! See Him in a manger laid, Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, sing with us our Savior's birth. Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
