Angels We Have Heard on High
1 Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains. Refrain: Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo. 2 Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be Which inspire your heav'nly song? [Refrain] 3 Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the new-born King. [Refrain] 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] (Optional ending) Glory to God! Glory to God! Glory to God!
