Angels we have heard on high <br />Sweetly singing oíer the plains, <br />And the mountains in reply <br />Echoing their joyous strains. <br /> <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br /> <br />Shepherds, why this jubilee? <br />Why your joyous strains prolong? <br />What the gladsome tidings be <br />Which inspire your heavenly song? <br /> <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br /> <br />Come to Bethlehem and see <br />Christ Whose birth the angels sing; <br />Come, adore on bended knee, <br />Christ the Lord, the newborn King. <br /> <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br /> <br />See Him in a manger laid, <br />Whom the choirs of angels praise; <br />Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, <br />While our hearts in love we raise. <br /> <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo! <br />Gloria, <br />in excelsis Deo!
