Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

CHORUS:
Gloria
In Excelsius Deo

Shepherd why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria
In Excelsius Deo

Gloria
In Excelsius Deo
