Lyrics Angels We Have Heard On High - Vanessa Williams

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 ooh, 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 strains

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, oh

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, 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
