Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains, And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. Refrain 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 heav'nly song? Refrain Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Refrain See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise. Refrain Un flambeau, Jeannette, Isabelle, Un flambeau, courons au berceau! C'est Jésus, bonnes gens du hameau, Le Christ est né, Marie appelle: Ah! Ah! Que la mère est belle! Ah! Ah! Que l'Enfant est beau! C'est un tort quand l'Enfant sommeille, C'est un tort de crier si fort, Taisezvous, l'un et l'autre d'abord! Au moindre bruit, Jésus s'éveille, Chut! Chut! Il dort à merveille! Chut! Chut! Voyez comme il dort! Doucement, dans l'étable close, Doucement, venez un moment! Approchez, que Jésus est charmant! Comme il est blanc! Comme il est rose! Do! Do! Que l'Enfant repose! Do! Do! Qu'il rit en dormant! Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabelle, Bring a torch to the cradle, run! It is Jesus, good folk of the village, Christ is born and Mary's calling: Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the Mother! Ah! Ah! Beautiful is the Child! It is wrong when the Child is sleeping, It is wrong to talk so loud, Silence, all, as you gather around, Lest your noise should waken Jesus: Hush! Hush! See how fast he slumbers! Hush! Hush! See how fast he sleeps! Through the doorway softly filing, To his manger bed we come. Torches' glow the Babe discloses, Fair as snow, with cheeks like roses! Soft! Soft! See how the Infant slumbers! Soft! Soft! See the Child asleep! A N G E L S W E H A V E H E A R D O N H I G H U N F L A M B E A U B R I N G A T O R C H 5 For Preview Only
