Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plain.
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyful strains.
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?
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in exclsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him who's 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 a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise.
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
