angels we have heard on high / hark! the herald angels sing

angels we have heard on high

sweetly singing o'er the plain

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

gloria

in excelsis deo

gloria

in excelsis deo

hark! the herald angels sing

glory to the new-born king
