Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the glad song tidings bring
Which inspire you Heavenly song
[Verse 3]
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
[Verse 4]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ whose birth the Angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
[Verse 5]
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
[Verse 6]
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
[Verse 7]
How could Heaven's heart not break
On the day, the day that you came?
Salvation's reason to to celebrate
On the day, the day that you came
[Verse 8]
How could Heaven's heart not break
On the day, the day that you came?
Salvation's reason to to celebrate
On the day, the day that you came
[Verse 9]
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
[Verse 10]
Gloria, Gloria, Gloria
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
