Angels we have on heard high,
sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply,
echoing their joyous strains
Gloria . . . in excelsis Deo
Gloria . . . in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see,
Christ whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Gloria . . . in excelsis Deo
Gloria . . . in excelsis Deo
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
while our hearts in love we raise
Gloria . . . in excelsis Deo
Gloria . . . in excelsis Deo
