Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains
Shepherds why this jubilee, why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be, which inspire your heavn'ly song
Gloooooria, in excelsis Deo
Gloooooria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see, Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, our newborn King
Glooooria, in excelsis Deo
Glooooria, in excelsis Deo
See Him in a manger laid, Jesus Lord of heav'n and earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, sing with us our Savior's birth
Gloooooria, in excelsis Deo
Gloooooria, in excelsis Deo
Glooooria, in excelsis Deo
Glooooria, in excelsis Deo
