Angles we have heard on high (aus Frankreich) |

-
Angles we have heard on high,
sweetly singing o'er the plains.
And the Mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.
Ref.: |: Gloria, in excelsis deo. :|
-
Shepherd, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be,
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
Ref.: |: Gloria, in excelsis deo. :|
-
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him, whose birth the angles praise.
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn king.
Ref.: |: Gloria, in excelsis deo. :|
-
See him in a manger laid,
Whom the choires of angles praise.
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.
