Angles 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 heavenly song

Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria in excelsis deo



Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angles sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, our newborn King

Gloria in excelsis deo

Gloria in excelsis deo



Gloria (Angles we have heard on high)

Gloria (Sweetly singing o'er the plains)

Gloria (And the mountains in reply)

Gloria (Echoing their joyous strains)
