Angels We Have Heard on High
ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH,
SWEETLY SINGING O'ER THE PLAINS:
AND THE MOUNTAINS IN REPLY,
ECHOING THEIR JOYOUS STRAINS.

####CHORUS:

GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO!
GLORIA IN EXCELSIS DEO!

SHEPHERDS, WHY THIS JUBILEE?
WHY YOUR JOYOUS STRAINS PROLONG?
WHAT THE GLAD TIDINGS BE
WHICH INSPIRE YOUR HEAVENLY SONG?

####

COME TO BETHLEHEM, AND SEE
HIM WHOSE BIRTH THE ANGELS SING;
COME, ADORE ON BENDED KNEE
CHRIST THE LORD, THE NEW BORN KING.

####

SEE HIM IN A MANGER LAID,
WHOM THE CHOIRS OF ANGELS PRAISE;
MARY, JOSEPH, LEND YOUR AID,
WHILE OUR HEARTS IN LOVE WE RAISE.
