Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Gloria, gloria

Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
Say what may these tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria, gloria

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria, gloria

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
We sing gloria, gloria
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
