Text: | Angels We Have Heard on High |
Tune: | GLORIA |
Arranger: | Edward Shippen Barnes |
1 Angels we have heard on high,
sweetly singing through the night,
and the mountains in reply
echoing their brave delight.
Refrain:
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these song of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear? [Refrain]
3 Come to Bethlehem, and see
him whose birth the angels sing.
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born king. [Refrain]
4 See him in a manger laid
whom the angels praise above.
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
while we raise our hearts in love. [Refrain]
