Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly swinging o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be?
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
Oh, angels we have heard on high (angels we have heard)
In excelsis Deo (angels)
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo (in excelsis Deo)
Angels we have heard on high
(We have heard) (we have heard)
In excelsis Deo, oh

See Him in a manger laid
Jesus Lord of heaven and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
