89 - Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains.

Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2.

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

Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

3.

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!

4.

See Him in a manger laid, 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!
