1. An- gels we have heard on high Sweet- ly sing- ing o'er the plains, And the moun- tains in re- ply E- cho- ing their joy- ous strains. Glo- ri- a, in ex- cel- sis De- o! Glo- ri- a, in ex- cel- sis De- o!

2. Shep- herds, why this ju- bi- lee? Why your joy- ous strains pro- long? What the glad- some ti- dings be Which in- spire your heav'n- ly song?

3. Come to Beth- le- hem and see Christ Whose birth the an- gels sing; Come, a- dore on bend- ed knee, Christ the Lord, the new- born King.

4. See Him in a man- ger laid, Whom the choirs of an- gels praise; Ma- ry, Jo- seph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise.
