Tune: | GLORIA |
1 Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains.
Refrain:
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
2 Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song. [Refrain]
3 Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King. [Refrain]
4 See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love. [Refrain]
SPANISH -
1 Ángeles cantando están
Tan dulcísima canción;
Las montañas su eco dan
Como fiel contestación.
Refrain:
Gloria a Dios en el cielo.
Gloria a Dios en el cielo.
2 Los pastores sin cesar
Sus loores dan a Dios;
Cuán glorioso es el cantar
De su melodiosa voz. [Refrain]
3 Hoy anuncian con fervor
Que ha nacido el Salvador;
Los mortales gozarán
Paz y buena voluntad. [Refrain]
4 Oh! venid pronto a Belén
Para contemplar con fe
A Jesús, Autor del bien,
Al recién nacido Rey. [Refrain]
