Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joy astray

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

See Him in the manger lay
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

In excelsius Deo
