Chorus / Description : The song Angels We Have Heard On High describes the joyous scene of angels singing to announce the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. It is based on the biblical account of the angelic proclamation to the shepherds in Luke 2:8-14.
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain
[Chorus:]
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.
[Chorus]
