Christmas carol, also sometimes known as "Westminster Carol." The
Latin chorus means "Glory to God in the highest."
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee,
Why your joyous songs prolong
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Come to Bethlehem and see,
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord the newborn king.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
See him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
