ANGELS WE HAVE
HEARD ON HIGH

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

Chorus
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo

Shepherd why this jubilee,
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Chorus
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo

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

Chorus
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius 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.

Chorus
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Glo-o-o-o-o,
Gloria,
In Excelsius Deo
