Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
Yeah, ooh, oh, ooh oh, yeah
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Ooh, no, yeah, yeah
Shepards, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous song prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be, ohh
That inspire your heav'nly, heav'nly song, oh
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Oh oh oh, oh yeah
Oh, come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing, oh
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, our newborn King
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Oh yeah
On the day, that Christ was born
The angels sang such a heavenly song
In excelsis Deo, ohh
Angels we have heard on high (angels we have heard)
Angels we have heard on high (angels we have heard)
Angels we have heard on high (angels)
Angels we have heard on high (Jesus Christ, sweetly singing)
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo (Deo)
In excelsis Deo
