Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Chorus]
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
[Chorus]
[Break]
[Interlude]
[Instrumental: guitar]
[Verse 3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the LORD, the new-born King.
[Verse 4]
See Him in a manger laid,
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth!
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
Sing with us our Saviour's birth.
[Chorus]
[Outro: majestic, dramatic]
Gloria, oh Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Hosanna in excelsis
Gloria in excelsis Deo
