English text
- Angels we have heard on high
- Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
- And the mountains in reply
- Echoing their joyous strains.
- Refrain:
- Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
- Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
- Shepherds, why this jubilee?
- Why your joyous strains prolong?
- What the gladsome tidings be
- Which inspire your heavenly song?
- Refrain
- Come to Bethlehem and see
- Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
- Come, adore on bended knee,
- Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
- Refrain
- See Him in a manger laid,
- Whom the choirs of angels praise;
- Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
- While our hearts in love we raise.
- Refrain
