Full Lyrics
Angels we have heard in heaven
Sweetly singing o'er our plains
And the mountain tops in answer
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this exultation?
Why your rapturous strain prolong?
Tell us of the gladsome tidings
Which inspire your joyous song.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem, and see him
O'er whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore, devoutly kneeling,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
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.
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
