Lyrics Angels We Have Heard on High - The Merry Christmas Players, Traditional, Christmas Songs Music

Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing on the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain:
Gloria in excelsius deo
Gloria in excelsius deo
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyful strains prolong?
And the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Gloria in excelsius deo
Gloria in excelsius deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria in excelsius deo
Gloria in excelsius deo
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choir of angels praise;
Holy Spirit lend thine aid
While our hearts in love we raise
Gloria in excelsius deo
Gloria in excelsius deo
