And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby
Keeping watch over their flocks at night
An angel of the Lord appeared to them
And the glory of the Lord shone around them
And they were terrified
But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid
I bring you good news of great joy
That will be for all the people"
Angels we have heard on high (heard on high)
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply (in reply)
Echo back their joyous strains
Gloria
Gloria (gloria, gloria)
In excelsis deo
