Angels We Have Heard on High Lyrics

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

Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria (Gloria, Gloria) in excelsis Deo
Da, da-da, da-ra, da, da-da, da-ra, da, da-da, da-ra, da, da-da, da-ra

Oh, 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

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him, whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King

Gloria (Gloria) in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Da, da-da, da-ra, da, da-da, da-ra, da, da-da, da-ra, da, da-da, da-ra
Gloria in excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard, oh

Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Oh, in excelsis Deo
