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

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepards, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
That inspire your heavenly

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
 [bad word] to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels [bad word] on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our newborn King
