6. Angels We Have Heard On High
“A great company… appeared with the angel…
saying ‘Glory to God.’” Luke 2:13-14
Text and Music: Traditional French Carol. “Gloria.”
Key of F major
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Glo-ri-a in excelsis Deo!
Glo-ri-a in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav’nly song?
Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new-born King
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angles praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise
