Angels We Have Heard On High lyrics

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 heavenly song? Gloria, in excelsis deo! Gloria, in excelsis deo! Come to bethlehem and see Christ 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 Gloria, in excelsis deo! Gloria, in excelsis deo!
