Lyrics
Angels we have heard on high sweetly singing o’er the plains
and the mountains in reply echoing their joyous strains.
(Chorus)
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see? What glad tidings did you hear?
(Chorus)
See him in a manger laid whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, while we raise our hearts in love.
(Chorus)
