Angels We Have Heard On High Lyrics

Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tiding be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Singing, Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our new-born King.
Singing Glory, Glory,
In excelsis Deo

On the day that Christ was born
The angels sing this heavenly song
In excelsis Deo
