1              57       1
Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plains
*                 57    1
And the mountains in re-ply
*              57     1 
Echo-ing their joyous strains

Shepherds, why this jubi-lee
*               57          1
Why your joyous strains pro-long
*                 57      1
What the gladsome tidings be
*                  57       1
Which inspire your heav'nly song


1              57      1
Come to Bethle-hem and see
*                   57     1
Him whose birth the angels sing
*             57     1
Come adore on bended knee

Christ, the Lord, the new-born King


1            57     1
See Him in a manger laid
*                  57     1
Whom the choirs of angels praise
*             57        1
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid

While our hearts, in love, we raise
