142   Angels We Have Heard On High




[1]
Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.

[C]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

[2]
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear?

[C]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

[3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King.

[C]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

[4]
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary Joseph lend your aid
While we raise our hearts in love.

[C]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
