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............... in excelsis Deo. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why these songs of happy cheer? What great brightness did you see? What glad tiding did you hear? ADDITIONAL VERSES: Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee Christ, the Lord, the new-born King. See him in a manger laid Whom the angels praise above; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While we raise our hearts in love.
