Angels We`ve Heard On High (in Excelsis Deo) Lyrics

Angels We`ve Heard On High (in Excelsis Deo)

Angels we have heard on high,

Singing sweetly through the night, 

And the mountains in reply 

Echoing their brave delight. 

Gloria in excelsis Deo. 

Gloria in excelsis Deo. 



Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why these songs of happy cheer? 

What great brightness did you see? 

What glad tiding did you hear? 

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 new-born King.

Gloria in excelsis Deo. 

Gloria in excelsis Deo. 



See him in a manger laid 

Whom the angels praise above;

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, 

While we raise our hearts in love.

Gloria in excelsis Deo. 

Gloria in excelsis Deo.
