<p>Angels we have heard on high<br>
|

Sweetly singing o’er the plains,<br>
|

And the mountains in reply<br>
|

Echoing their joyous strains.</p>

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
||
<p class="refrain">Gloria, in excelsis Deo!<br>
|
||
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
|
||
<p>Shepherds, why this jubilee?<br>
|
||
Why your joyous strains prolong?<br>
|
||
What the gladsome tidings be<br>
|
||
Which inspire your heavenly song?</p>
|
||
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
||
<p>Come to Bethlehem and see<br>
|

Christ Whose birth the angels sing;<br>
|

Come, adore on bended knee,<br>
|
||
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.</p>
|

<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
||
<p>See Him in a manger laid,<br>

Whom the choirs of angels praise;<br>

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,<br>

While our hearts in love we raise.</p>

|

<p>Shepherds in the field abiding,<br>
|
||
Tell us when the seraph bright<br>
|
||
Greeted you with wondrous tiding,<br>
|
||
What you saw and heard that night.</p>
|
||
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
||
<p>We beheld—it is no fable—<br>
|
||
God incarnate, King of bliss,<br>
|
||
Swathed and cradled in a stable,<br>
|
||
And the angel strain was this:</p>
|
||
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
||
<p>Choristers on high were singing<br>
|
||
Jesus and His virgin birth,<br>
|
||
Heavenly bells the while a-ringing<br>
|
||
“Peace, good will to men on earth.”</p>
