[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoin’ their joyous strain

[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyful strains prolong?
Say what made the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

[Verse 3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

[Verse 4]
See within a manger lay
Jesus, Lord of heav'n and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us, sing our Saviour's birth

[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
