Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyful strains
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?
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyful strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
