Traditional French carol (Les Anges dans Nos Campagnes); translated from French to English by James Chadwick in Crown of Jesus, 1862. Music: Gloria (Barnes), French carol melody

Angels we have heard on highSweetly singing o’er the plains,And the mountains in replyEchoing their joyous strains.
Refrain

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

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

Come to Bethlehem and seeChrist Whose birth the angels sing;Come, adore on bended knee,Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
