Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyful 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
