Angels we have on heard high
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyful strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
