Lyrics

Angels we have heard on high, singing sweetly through the night,
and the mountains in reply echoing their brave delight.

  Gloria in excelsis Deo, gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see? What glad tidings did you hear?

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

See him in a manger laid whom the angels praise above.
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, while we raise our hearts in love.
