Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains

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?

Come to Bethlehem, and see

Him whose birth the angles sing

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the new born King

See Him in a manger laid

When the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we raise.
