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

Gloria in excelsis deo
Gloria, French traditional carol: "Les Anges dans nos Campagnes"
translated by James Chadwick, 1813-1882
