lyrics: Les anges dans campagnes, French

music: French traditional

Angels We Have Heard on High

Intro (like the first 2 lines of a verse and then the last line of the chorus)

Verse 1 Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o’er the plains,

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyful strains.

Chorus Glo - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ria in excelsius Deo,

Glo - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ria in excelsius Deo

Verse 2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be,

Which inspire your heav'nly song?

Chorus

Verse 3 Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing;

Come adore on bended knee,

Christ, the lord, the newborn King.

Chorus (this last chorus turns-around its first part 2 times extra before the last part is sung – End)
