Angels We Have Heard on High

(French carol, ca. 1862)Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in reply,

Echoing their joyous strains.

Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-o

Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-oShepherds, why this Jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song?

Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-o

Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-oCome to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-o

Glo-ori-a

In excelsis de-o
