Author: Earl Marlatt, 1892 - Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #30 (1958) First Line: Angels we have heard on high Lyrics: 1 Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
3 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.
4 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. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GLORIA (IRIS)
