Shane & Shane's rendition of the classic carol 'Angels We Have Heard On High' blends traditional Christmas lyrics with a modern chorus that invites listeners to join the 'cloud of witnesses' in praising God. The song celebrates the birth of Christ, urging believers to come to Bethlehem and adore the newborn King. It emphasizes the glory of God in the highest and the joy of the angelic announcement. The added refrain about the cloud of witnesses connects the Christmas story to the broader community of faith, encouraging worship and remembrance of God's faithfulness.

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
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ 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 oh oh oh oh oh
Sing this heavenly song tonight
Glory be to God in the highest
Join the cloud of witnesses
Glory be to God in the highest
Sing this heavenly song tonight
Glory be to God in the highest
Angels we have heard on high
Glory be to God in the highest
See Him in a manger laid, whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid while our hearts in love relays
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo
Gloria, in excelsis deo
