Lyrics
Verse 1
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Mm, mm
Verse 2
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight
Chorus
Gloria, gloria
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Verse 3
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Chorus
Gloria, gloria
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Verse 4
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Chorus
Gloria, gloria
Gloria in excelsis Deo
