ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH

F-major

1:

Angels we have heard on high,

Sweetly singing o’er the plains,

And the mountains in reply

Echo back their joyous strains.

Chorus

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2:

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

Say what may the tidings be,

Which inspire your heav’nly song?

3:

Come to Bethlehem, and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

4:

See within a manger laid,

Jesus, Lord of heav’n and earth!

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,

With us sing our Savior’s birth.
