Lyrics Angels We Have Heard on High - Old 97's

Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoin' their joyous strain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyful strains prolong?
Say what made the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis 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 excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
See within a manger lay
Jesus, Lord of heav’n and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us, sing our Saviour’s birth
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
