Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain
[Chorus:]
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
[Chorus]
