Angels We Have Heard On High

Verse 1

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains

Chorus

Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Verse 2

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say, what may the tidings be?
Which inspire your heavenly songs?
