1. Angels we have on heard high 3. Come to Bethlehem and see
Sweetly singing o'er the plains Christ whose birth the angels sing And the mountains in reply Come adore on bended knee Echoing their joyous strains Christ the Lord the newborn King Gloria in excelsis Deo (bis) Gloria in excelsis Deo (bis)
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? 4. See him in a manger laid
Why your joyous strains prolong? Whom the choirs of angels praise What the gladsome tidings be Mary, Joseph, lend your aid Which inspire your heavenly song? While our hearts in love we raise Gloria in excelsis Deo (bis) Gloria in excelsis Deo (bis)
