142. ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

Seventh Day Adventist Hymnal




1.
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.


Refrain:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!


2.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?


Refrain:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

3.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.


Refrain:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

4.
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

Refrain:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
