Mariah Carey
“Angels We Have Heard On High,” previously known as “Les anges dans nos campagnes,” is a traditional French carol that tells the story of Christ’s birth when the angels told the good news to nearby shepherds.
Long ago in the hills of southern France, shepherds had a Christmas Eve custom of calling...
[Verse 1]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 2]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 3]
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
[Verse 4]
See within in a manger laid
Jesus Lord of Heav'n and Earth
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth
[Chorus]
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Angels We Have Heard on High was written by James Chadwick.
