Angels we have heard on high

by Traditional French carol · by Earl Marlatt

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 142.

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.
