ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH - Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

lyrics

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
.
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
.
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

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


"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a Christmas carol of French origin. The song commemorates the story of the birth of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of Luke, in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child. wikipedia.org
