ngels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
nd the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
Gloria in excel sis Deo.
