An-gels we have heard on high,
Sweet-ly sing-ing o'er the plains;
And the moun-tains in re-ply,
Ech-o-ing their joy-ous strains.
Glo- - -ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o.
Glo- - -ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o.

Shep-herds why this ju-bi-lee?
Why your joy-ous strains pro-long?
What the glad-some ti-dings be,
Which in-spire your heav'n-ly song?
Glo- - -ri-a in ex-cel-sis De-o.
Glo- - -ri-a in ex-cel-sis De- -o.
