333. Ángeles Cantando Están/Angels We Have Heard on High

1 Ángeles cantando están
Tan dulcísima canción;
Las montañas su eco dan
como fiel contestación.

Estribillo:
Gloria, a Dios en el cielo.
Gloria, a Dios en el cielo.

2 Los pastores sin cesar
Sus loores dan a Dios;
Cuán glorioso es el cantar
De su melodiosa voz. [Estribillo]

3 Hoy anuncian con fervor
Que ha nacido el Salvador;
Los mortales gozarán
Paz y buena voluntad. [Estribillo]

4 Oh, venid pronto a Belén
Para contemplar con fe
A Jesús, Autor del bien,
Al recién nacido Rey. [Estribillo]

---

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. [Refrain]
