Lyrics

ANGELS

(ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH)

VERSE 1
Angels we have heard on high, sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains

REFRAIN
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

VERSE 2
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be, which inspire your heavenly song?

VERSE 3
Come to Bethlehem, and see him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King

Bridge
All the angels singing Gloria (alto): Gloria (tenor): Gloria
All your people singing Gloria (alto): Gloria (tenor): Gloria
All creation singing Gloria (tenor): Gloria (alto): Gloria
(lead voc): Gloria (alto): Gloria (tenor): Gloria (tenor): Gloria
