Angels We Have Heard on High

Traditional French Carol

l. An - gels we have heard on high, Sweet - ly sing - ing o'er the plains
2. Shep-herds, why this ju - bi - lee? Why your joy - ous strains pro - long?
3. Come to Beth - le - hem, and see Him whose birth the an - gels sing;
4. See Him in a man - ger laid, Whom the choirs of an - gels praise;

And the moun -tains in re - ply, Ech - o - ing their - joy - ous strains.
Whatthe glad-some tid - ings be Which in - spire your - heav'n - ly song?
Come, a -dore on bend - ed knee Christ the Lord, the - new - boro King.
Mar - y, Jo - seph, lend your aid, While our hearts in - love we raise.
