Verse 1
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountain in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Chorus
Gloria Gloria in excelsis Deo (2X)
Verse 2
Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song
Verse 3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
