Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis deo (2x)

Shepherds why this jubilee,
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
 [bad word] to Bethlehem and see
Christ who's birth the angels sing. [bad word] adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn king
Gloria in excelsis deo (4x)
