Angels we have heard on high

sweetly singing o'er the plains,

echoing their joyous strains.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
which inspire your heav'nly song?
Come to Bethlehem and see
him whose birth the angels sing.
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
