Original lyrics

Angels We Have Heard On High

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!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be

Which inspire your heavenly song?

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

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!

German

Translation

Hört der Engel helle Lieder

klingen das weite Feld entlang,

und die Berge hallen wider

von des Himmels Lobgesang:

Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Hirten, sagt, was ist geschehen,

was tun uns die Engel kund?

Alles Leid könnt jetzt vergehen

auf dem weiten Erdenrund;

Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Denn ein Kindlein ist geboren,

kommen ist der Heiland dein.

Er errettet, was verloren,

Friede soll auf Erden sein.

Gloria in excelsis Deo!
