Angels We Have Heard On High

There've been times when I thought I heard angels And I must admit, it took me by surprise I heard rhythm and the fullness of life So rich, it brought tears to my eyes There was a time I was sure I heard angels It was a sound tinged with sadness But loaded with the joy Full of rhythm and ooh, such music Kind of streetwise jubilation At the coming of that blessed Boy Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains Gloria, in excelsis deo Gloria, in excelsis deo, oh Shepherds why this jubilee Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? Gloria, in excelsis deo Gloria, in excelsis deo, oh Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn King Gloria, in excelsis deo Gloria, in excelsis deo, oh Angels we have heard on high Angels we have heard on high (Gloria) Angels we have heard on high (Gloria) Angels we have heard on high (Gloria) Angels we have heard on high (Gloria) Angels we have heard
