Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains

And the mountains in re-ply
* 57 1
Echo-ing their joyous strains

Shepherds, why this jubi-lee
* 57 1
Why your joyous strains pro-long
* 57 1
What the gladsome tidings be
* 57 1
Which inspire your heav'nly song


1 57 1
Come to Bethle-hem and see
* 57 1
Him whose birth the angels sing
* 57 1
Come adore on bended knee
* 57 1
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King


1 57 1
See Him in a manger laid
* 57 1
Whom the choirs of angels praise

Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
* 57 1
While our hearts, in love, we raise
