Angels We Have Heard On High

(Traditional French-English, 1855)

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria…

Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria…

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the new born king
Gloria…
