Angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing o’er the plains
and the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strain
refrain:
GLORIA
IN EXCELSIS DEO
GLORIA
IN EXCELSIS DEO
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
say what may the tidings be
which inspire your heavenly song
refrain
Come to Bethlehem and see
him whose birth the Angels sing
come adore on bended Knee
Christ the Lord the New Born King
repeat refrain
