Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Verse 1

Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o'er the plains; And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.

Verse 2

Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be; Which inspire your heav'nly 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.

Verse 4

See him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise, Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise.
