[Verse 1:]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joy-ous strains
[Chorus:]
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
[Verse 2:]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
[Verse 3:]
Come to Bethelehem and see
Him whose birth the an-gels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
[Verse 4:]
See within a manger laid
Jesus Lord of heavn and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth
