Chorus / Description : Angels We Have Heard On High is a joyful Christmas carol that celebrates the birth of Jesus and the announcement of his arrival by the angels.
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 heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
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
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah...
