Verse 1
 E               A       E
Angels we have heard on high
 C#m     B      A 
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
 E                A     E 
And the mountains in reply
C#m  B    A
Echoing their joyous strains

Chorus
E      B        G#m 
Gloria -  Gloria
 A           E 
In excelsis Deo
C#m          B
In excelsis Deo
E      B        G#m 
Gloria -  Gloria
A           E
In excelsis Deo
C#m          B 
In excelsis Deo

Verse 2
  E                  A   E
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
 C#m      B              A            
Why your joyous strains prolong?
  E                A      E    
What the gladsome tidings be
 C#m      B         A                 
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee
 C#m         B          A               
Christ the Lord the newborn King
