ANGLES WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
SWEETLY SINGING O'ER THE PLAINS
AND THE MOUNTAINS
(In reply to): ECHO BACK THEIR
JOYOUS STRAINS

GLO..RIA IN EXCELSIUS DEO (X2)

SHEPHERDS WHY THIS JUBILEE
WHY YOUR JOYOUS STRAND PROLONG
SAY WHAT MAY THE TIDINGS BE
WHICH INSPIRE YOU HEAVENLY SONG

COME TO BETHLEHEM AND SEE
HIM WHOSE BIRTH THE ANGELS SING
COME ADORE ON BENDED KNEE
CHRIST THE LORD THE NEWBORN KING

Gloria
