Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight

Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria in excelsis deo
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
In excelsis deo
Angels we have heard
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard

Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis deo
