Lyrics:

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

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Shepherds why this jubilee
Why your joyful strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
