Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains Angels we have heard on high Singing sweetly through the night And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight * 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? * Repeat Come to Bethlehem and see In whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King * Repeat Gloria, in excelsis Deo Angels we have heard on high... In excelsis Deo!
