ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Angels we have heard on high 

1.
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?Refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!


3.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

4.
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

Refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
