Angels we have heard on high, Singing sweetly through the night And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tiding did you hear? CHORUS: Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the new-born King CHORUS: Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above Mary, Joseph, lend your aid While we raise our hearts in love CHORUS: Gloria in excelsis Deo Gloria in excelsis Deo
