Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
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 in excelsis Deo
