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 Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tidings did you hear? Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While we raise our hearts in love Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria
