GRH 098 Angels We Have Heard on High

(1)
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains:
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excel sis Deo!
Gloria in excel sis Deo!

(2)
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the glad some tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Gloria in excel sis Deo!
Gloria in excel sis Deo!

(3)
Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new born King.
Gloria in excel sis Deo!
Gloria in excel sis Deo!
