Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
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 heav'nly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With th' angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King"
Hail! the heaven-born Prince of peace
Hail! the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all he brings
Risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the son of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King"
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
