|
Angels we have heard on high, |
|
Singing sweetly through the night, |
|
And the mountains in reply |
|
Echoing their brave delight. |
|
Shepherds, why this jubilee? |
|
Why these songs of happy cheer? |
|
What great brightness did you see? |
|
What glad tiding did you hear? |
|
(*Refrain) |
|
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. |
|
*Refrain |
|
See him in a manger laid |
|
Whom the angels praise above; |
|
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, |
|
While we raise our hearts in love. |
