Verse 1
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Verse 3
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
Verse 4
Come to Bethlehem and see,
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Verse 5
See within a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Savior's birth.
