[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.

[Refrain]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.

[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear?

[Verse 3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

[Verse 4]
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
