Lyrics

1. Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains.
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song?
3. Come to Bethlehem and see Christ Whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
4. See within a manger laid Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, With us sing our Savior's birth.
Refrain Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
