| Info: Angels We Have Heard on High is a Christmas carol of French origin. The song commemorates the story of the birth of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of Luke, in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter a multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child. Lyrics Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains Angels we have heard on high Singing sweetly through the night And the mountains in reply Echoing their brave delight 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 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 Gloria in excelsis Deo Angels we have heard Angels we have heard on high Angels we have heard Angels we have heard on high Angels we have heard on high Angels we have heard on high Oh in excelsis Deo | |
