Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
Glooooria in excelsis Deo
Glooooria in excelsis Deo
I hear them singing glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend Your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
Glooooria in excelsis Deo
Glooooria in excelsis Deo
I hear them singing glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Glory, glory
Glory in the highest
Glooooria in excelsis Deo
Glooooria in excelsis Deo
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
