Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 2008 #184 (2008) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with refrain Refrain First Line: Gloria in excelsis Deo Lyrics: 1 Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains;
And the mountains in reply,
Echo back their joyous strains.
Chorus:
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? [Chorus]
3 Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King. [Chorus]
4 See within a manger laid
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With us sing our Savior's birth. [Chorus] Topics: Jesus, Birth; Praise, Adoration, Worship, Exaltation of Jesus Languages: English Tune Title: GLORIA
