Full Lyrics
VERSE 1
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain.
REFRAIN
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
VERSE 2
Shepherds, why this Jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be;
Which inspire your joyous song.
VERSE 3
Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
VERSE 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.
