1. Angls we have heard on high
     D              A7        D
   Sweetly singing o’er the plains
   D                 A7   D
   And the mountains in reply
   D              A7        D
   Echoing their joyous strains

Refrain
   D     Bm     Em     A    D    G    A

   D     Bm     Em     A    D    G    A

2. Shepherds, why this jubilee?
   Why your joyous songs prolong
   What the gladsome tidings be
   Which inspire your heav’nly song?

Refrain

3. Come to Bethlehem and see
   Him whose brth the angels sing;
   Come, adore on bended knee
   Christ, the Lord, our new-born king.
