HYMN Lyrics Text:  Angels We Have Heard On High | Christmas

1. Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

echoing their joyous strain.

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Gloria in excelsis Deo

2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous stains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be?

Which inspire your joyous song?

3. Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angles sing:

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

4. See Him in a manger laid,

Whom the choirs of angles praise

Mary, Joseph lend your aid,

While our hearts in Love we raise.
