Lyrics

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 gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? [Chorus] Come to Bethlehem and see Christ whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King [Chorus] See Him in a manger laid Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While our hearts in love we raise [Chorus]
