Full Lyrics
VERSE 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.
VERSE 2
Shepherds, why this Jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song.
VERSE 3
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new born King.
VERSE 4
See within a manger laid;
Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Saviour's birth
