Angels We Have Heard on High

​

​

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

​

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight

​

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

​

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

​

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

​

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.…
