Angels We Have Heard Your Voices Lyrics

1. Angels, we have heard your voices,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains;
Mount, and crag and hill replying,
Echo still your joyous strains:

[Chorus:]
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

2. Shepherds, why this jubilation?
Why this ecstasy of song?
Tell us what may be the tidings
That inspired the heavenly throng? [Chorus]

3. Come and see in Bethlem's city
Him whose birth the angels sing;
And, on bended knee, adore him,
Christ the Lord, the new-born King! [Chorus]

4. See, within a manger lying,
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth;
Aid us, Mary, aid us, Joseph,
To acclaim our Saviour's birth [Chorus]
