Angels we have heard on high
We have listened to the divine messengers from heaven

Sweetly singing over the plains
They were melodiously chanting above the flatlands

And the mountains in reply
Both the hills responded to their call

Echoing their joyous strains
The hills reverberated with their happy melodies

Glo... ria! In excelsis Deo!
Glory to God in the highest!

Glo... ria! Glory to our Savior!
Glory to Jesus Christ our Redeemer and Protector!
