Hymn #142
Angels We Have Heard on High
Lyrics
Verse 1
Angels we have heard on high
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo,
Gloria, in excelsis Deo.
Verse 2
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear?
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 angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
