1.
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing on the plain.
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain

REFRAIN

Gloria -in excelsius deo, deo.

2.
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyful strains prolong?
What the glad-some tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song?

REFRAIN

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

REFRAIN

4.
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choir of angels praise;
Holy Spirit lend thine aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.
