Angels We Have Heard On High
James Chadwick, Edward Shippen Barnes, Traditional
[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Chorus]
"Gloria, in excelsis Deo!"
[Verse 2]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ, whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King
[Chorus]
"Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!"
[Bridge]
See Him in a manger, laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love, we raise
[Chorus]
"Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!"
