[Verse 1] Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing on the plain And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strain: [Refrain] Gloria in excelsius deo Gloria in excelsius deo [Verse 2] Shepherds why this jubilee? Why your joyful strains prolong? And the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heav'nly song? [Refrain] Gloria in excelsius deo Gloria in excelsius deo [Verse 3] Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the newborn King [Refrain] Gloria in excelsius deo Gloria in excelsius deo [Verse 4] See Him in a manger laid Whom the choir of angels praise; Holy Spirit lend thine aid While our hearts in love we raise [Refrain] Gloria in excelsius deo Gloria in excelsius deo
