Hymns and Songs for Catholic Children ‎#22

22. Angels We Have Heard On High

1 Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply,
Echo back their joyous strains;

Refrain
Sing, oh! sing, this blessed morn,
Jesus Christ to-day is born.
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your rapturous strain prolong?
Say, what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song? [Refrain]

3 Come to Bethlehem, come and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Th' Infant Christ, the new-born King. [Refrain]

4 See, within a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of Heaven and earth!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Saviour's birth. [Refrain]
