1
Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
2
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What glad tidings did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear?
3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
4
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
C
Chorus
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
