Angels We Have Heard on High
James Chadwick
[Verse]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Verse 2]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight
[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
[Verse 3]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
[Verse 4]
Come to Bethlehеm and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Comе, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
