Lyrics: | English Translation: |
Gloria... | Glory... |
Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echo back their joyous strains |
|
Chorus: | |
Gloria in excelsis Deo | Glory to God in the highest |
Gloria in excelsis Deo | Glory to God in the highest |
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? |
|
(Chorus) | |
Gloria... | Glory... |
Come to Bethlehem and see Him, whose birth the angels sing Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King |
|
(Chorus) | |
See within a manger laid Jesus, Lord of Heaven and earth Mary, Joseph, lend your aid With us sing our Savior's birth |
|
(Chorus) | |
Gloria... | Glory... |
