Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high
--Billy Gilman
(offered by Orchidee)

angels we have heard on high
sweetly singing ore the plains
and the mountains in reply
echoing their joyous strains
gloria, in excelsis deo
gloria, in excelsis deo

come to Bethelhem and see
christ whose birth the angels sing
come adore on bended knee
christ the lord the newborn king
gloria, in excelsis deo
gloria, in excelsis deo

see him in a manger laid
whom the choirs of angels praise;
mary, joseph, lend your aid
while our hearts in love we raise
gloria, in excelsis deo
gloria, in excelsis deo
gloria, in excelsis deo
