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

Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing through the night, 
And the mountains in reply 
Echoing their brave delight. 

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo 

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

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

Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo 

Gloria in excelsis Deo 
Angels we have heard
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard

Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Oh in excelsis Deo
