Angels We Have Heard (Glory Be)

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o?er the plains

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strains 


Angels we have heard on high 

Sweetly, sweetly through the night 

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their brief delight 


Gloria in excelsis deo 


Glory be to God on High

And peace on Earth forever 

Glory be to God above

And peace on Earth 

And in all hearts

Amen


Shepherds why this jubilee? 

Why your joyous strains prolong? 

What the gladsome tidings be 

Which inspire your heavenly song?


Gloria in excelsis deo


Glory be to God on High 

And peace on Earth forever

Glory be to God above

And peace on Earth 

And in all hearts

Amen


May there be peace

May there be light

Mercy, justice for all the world

May there be truth

May there be love

And peace on Earth 

And in all hearts 


May there be peace

May there be light 

Mercy, justice for all the world

May there be truth

May there be love

And peace on Earth

And in all hearts

Amen 


Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing 

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the Lord, the newborn King
