angels we have heard on high

angels we have heard on high

angels we have heard on high

sweetly swinging 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 heavenly 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 newborn king

gloria in excelsis deo

gloria in excelsis deo

see him in a manger laid

whom the choirs of angels praise;

mary

joseph

lend your aid

while our hearts in love we raise
