The refrain of "Angels We Have Heard on High" uses the phrase "Gloria in excelsis Deo!" which translated is actually found in the Biblical passage. What does the phrase mean?

"Gloria in excelsis Deo" comes straight from the Bible passage Luke 2:14, quoting the angels directly. In the carol, the phrase is in Latin.
