Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high,
sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
echo back their joyous strains.
Refrain:
Glo_____ria, in excelsis Deo!
Glo_____ria, 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
Christ, whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
(Refrain)
See within a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
with us sing our Savior's birth.
(Refrain)
