History
The most common English version of Angels We Have Heard on High was translated by J. Chadwick way back in 1862. The most memorable section of this Christmas favorite is its chorus - Gloria in Excelsis Deo!, which is Latin for Glory to God in the Highest.

Lyrics
Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply,
Echoing their joyous strains.

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

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

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

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

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