Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Verse two
Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Refrain one
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Verse three
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Refrain two
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Verse four
See Him in a manger laid
Jesus Lord of Heaven and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
With the singing of Saviour's birth
Refrain three
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
in excelsis Deo, in excelsis Deo
