Angels We Have Heard On High,
Sweetly Singing Over The Plains,
And The Mountains In Reply
Echoing Their Joyous Strains.
Gloria In Excels Is Deo,
Gloria In Excels Is Deo.
Shepherds, Why This Jubilee?
Why Your Joyous Strains Prolong?
What The Gladsome Tidings Be
Which Inspire Your Heavenly Song?
Come To Bethlehem And See
Him Whose Birth The Angels Sing;
Come, Adore On Bended Knee
Christ The Lord, The New Born King.
