Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Angels we have heard in heaven sweetly singing o'er our plains
And the mountain tops in answer echoing their joyous strains
REFRAIN
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
VERSE 2
Shepherds why this exultation? Why your rapturous strains prolong?
Tell us of the gladsome tidings which inspire your joyous song
VERSE 3
Come to Bethlehem and see him o'er whose birth the angels sing
Come adore devoutly kneeling, Christ the Lord the newborn King
VERSE 4
See him in a manger lying whom the choir of angels praise
Mary Joseph come to aid us while our hearts in love we raise
