====== Angels We Have Heard On High ======

==== Lyrics ====

1. Angels we have heard on high\\
Sweetly singing o’er the plain\\
And the mountains in reply\\
Echoing their joyous strains\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?\\
Why your joyous strains prolong?\\
What the gladsome tidings be?\\
Which inspire your heavenly songs?\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

3. Come to Bethlehem and see\\
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;\\
Come, adore on bended knee,\\
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

4. See Him in a manger laid,\\
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth;\\
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,\\
With us sing our Savior’s birth.\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!\\
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
