Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plain

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their sweet refrain

[Verse 3]

Ah, ah, Gloria

In excelsis Deo

Ah, ah, Gloria

In excelsis Deo

[Verse 4]

Come to Bethlehem and see (Come and see)

Christ, whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knees

Christ, the Lord, the newborn King

[Verse 5]

Ah, ah, Gloria

In excelsis Deo

Ah, ah, Gloria

In excelsis Deo

[Verse 6]

Oh, oh, oh

Ooh, whoa, yeah

[Verse 7]

See Him in a manger laid

Whom a choir of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts in love we praise

[Verse 8]

Ah, ah, Gloria

In excelsis Deo

Ah, ah, Gloria

In excelsis Deo

In excelsis Deo

In excelsis Deo

[Verse 9]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa

Whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh

Merry Christmas

From the Franklins to all of you
