This hymn is a Christmas carol written by Scottish poet James Montgomery in 1816. This poem is usually sang in England to the tune of the carol "Angels We Have Heard on High" (which in turn borrows the tune from the French carol Les anges dans nos campagnes"). In the United States it is usually sang to the tune of Regent Square, but on this video they use the British tune instead. Sometimes, like in this case, they use the chorus from "Angels We Have Heard on High" instead of the original refrain from the poem, which goes like this:
Come and worship,
Come and worship
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria
Gloria
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In his temple shall appear.
Though an infant now we view him,
He shall fill his Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to him;
Every knee shall then bow down.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Gloria
Gloria and love

Ye= (old fashioned or poetic) /ji:/ You. In old English "ye" is the subject and "you" is the object (pair ye-you like I-me or he-him), later the form "you" got used for the subjet too.
