Angels We Have Heard On High Lyrics

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 oh 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 strain 

Gloria, in excel sis deo 
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh 

Shepherds why this jubilee 
why your joyous strains prolong 
What the gladsome tidings be 
which inspire your heav'nly song 

Gloria, in excel sis deo 
Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh 

Come to Bethlehem and see 
him whose birth the angels sing 
Come adore on bended knee 
Christ the lord, the new born king 

Gloria, in excel sis deo 
Gloria, in excel sis 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
