Angels We Have Heard On High Lyrics

Angels We Have Heard on High by French traditional Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echo back their joyous strains. Chorus: Gloria In Excelsis Deo. (Bis) Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be, Which inspire your heav’nly song. Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore, on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the newborn King. See him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise.
