Lyrics
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 2
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Verse 3
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis Deo. Gloria in excelsis Deo.
