Chorus / Description : The song celebrates the joy of Christ's birth, inviting listeners to worship Him alongside the angels and shepherds, emphasizing glory to God in the highest.
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing 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 heav'nly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
King of Kings
And Lord of Lords
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
