Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing over the plains And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.
Shepherds, why this Jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee
Jesus, Lord of heaven and earth! Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, With us sing our Savior's birth.
