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
