ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
1. Angels we have
heard on high,
Sweetly singing
o'er the plains,
And the mountains
in reply
Echo back their
joyous strains.
Refrain
Gloria in excelsis
Deo,
Gloria in excelsis
Deo.
2. Shepherds, why
this jubilee?
Why your joyous
strains prolong?
Say what may the
tidings be,
Which inspire your
heav'nly song?
3. Come to
Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the
angels sing;
Come, adore on
bended knee
Christ the Lord,
the newborn King.
