Angels We Have Heard On High

(Traditional: England / France c. 1860s)

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

CHORUS
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

CHORUS

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King

CHORUS
