2. 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:
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
which inspire your heavenly song.

3 Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
come adore on bended knee,
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
