Angels We Have Heard on High
ARTHUR FERRANTE, LOUIS TEICHER
Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
[Chorus]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
[Chorus]
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
[Chorus]
