Angel's Carol

Have you heard the sound of the angel voices Ringing out so sweetly, ringing out so clear? Have you seen the star shining out so brightly As a sign from God that Christ the Lord is here? Have you heard the news that they bring from heaven To the humble shepherds who have waited long? Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Hear the angels sing their joyful song He is come in peace in the winter's stillness Like a gentle snowfall in the gentle night He is come in joy, like the sun at morning Filling all the world with radiance and with light He's come in love as the child of Mary In a simple stable, we have seen his birth Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Hear the angels singing 'Peace on earth' He will bring new light to a world in darkness Like a bright star shining in the skies above He will bring new hope to the waiting nations When he comes to reign in purity and love Let the earth rejoice at the Saviour's coming Let the heavens answer with a joyful morn Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo! Hear the angels singing, "Christ is born" Hear the angels singing, "Christ is born"
