Angels We Have Heard On High by Chris Rice


Song Lyrics


Angels We Have Heard On High
by Chris Rice

Album: The Living Room Sessions - Christmas


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

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
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

See Him in a manger laid
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we raise

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

thank you for posting this beautiful arrangement! I heard this version played on our local Christian radio station WFUR 92.9 FM in Grand Rapids, MI last Thursday night and found the chords fascinating - Dec 2021
