Echo back their joyous strains.

Why your joyous strains prolong?

Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee

While we raise our hearts in love. [Refrain]

1 Ángeles cantando están
Tan dulcísima canción;
Las montañas su eco dan
Como fiel contestación.
Refrain:
Gloria a Dios en el cielo.
Gloria a Dios en el cielo.
2 Los pastores sin cesar
Sus loores dan a Dios;
Cuán glorioso es el cantar
De su melodiosa voz. [Refrain]
3 Hoy anuncian con fervor
Que ha nacido el Salvador;
Los mortales gozarán
Paz y buena voluntad. [Refrain]
4 Oh! venid pronto a Belén
Para contemplar con fe
A Jesús, Autor del bien,
Al recién nacido Rey. [Refrain] Topics: Seasonal Music Christmas Languages: English; Spanish Tune Title: GLORIA
