Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly swinging o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous 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 excelsis Deo
(Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo)
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
(Angels we have heard on high)
We have heard, we have heard
(In excelsis Deo)
See Him in a manger laid
Jesus, Lord of heav' and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
(Angels we have heard on high)
In excelsis Deo
