\"angel\"<\/p>\n

1. Angels we have heard on high
\nSweetly singing o’er the plains,
\nAnd the mountains in reply
\nEchoing their joyous strains.<\/p>\n

Refrain
\nGloria, in excelsis Deo!
\nGloria, in excelsis Deo!<\/p>\n

2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?
\nWhy your joyous strains prolong?
\nWhat the gladsome tidings be
\nWhich inspire your heavenly song? Refrain<\/p>\n

3. Come to Bethlehem and see
\nHim1 whose birth the angels sing;
\nCome, adore on bended knee,
\nChrist the Lord, the newborn King. Refrain<\/p>\n

4. See Him in a manger laid,
\nWhom the choirs of angels praise;
\nMary, Joseph, lend your aid,
\nWhile our hearts in love we raise. Refrain<\/p>\n

Read all about this carol.<\/a> Think of the many times angels are mentioned at the nativity, and throughout the life of Christ.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
