142- Angels We Have Heard On High

Jesus Christ: Birth

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.

2

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

3

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

4

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