Angels We Have Heard On High

Written By The Gothard Sisters

Song traditional from England and France c. 1860s. Arranged by the Gothard Sisters.
Recorded on the A Celtic Christmas album in 2023.

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

CHORUS
Gloria — In Excelsis Deo
Gloria — In Excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song

CHORUS
Gloria — In Excelsis Deo
Gloria — In Excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King

CHORUS
Gloria — In Excelsis Deo
Gloria — In Excelsis Deo
