| OHT Incipit: | | |
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 strains prolong?
What the glad some tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly 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 new born king.
Gloria in excelsis Deo;
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
See Him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
Gloria in excelsis Deo;
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
