Text: | Angels we have heard on high |
Tune: | GLORIA |
1 Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing over 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]
3 Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing:
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King. [Refrain]
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]
