Lyrics
Have you heard the sound
Of the angel voices
Ringing out so sweetly
Ringing out so clear?
Have you seen the star
Shining out so brightly
As a sign from God
That Christ the Lord is here?
Have you heard the news
That they bring from heaven
To the humble shepherds
Who have waited long?
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels sing
Their joyful song
He is come in peace
In the winter's stillness
Like a gentle snowfall
In the gentle night
He is come in joy
Like the sun at morning
Filling all the world
With radiance and with light
He is come in love
As the child of Mary
In a simple stable
We have seen his birth
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing
'Peace on earth'
He will bring new light
To a world in darkness
Like a bright star shining
In the skies above
He will bring new hope
To the waiting nations
When he comes to reign
In purity and love
Let the earth rejoice
At the Saviour's coming
Let the heavens answer
With the joyful morn
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing
'Christ is born'
Hear the angels singing
'Christ is born'
Of the angel voices
Ringing out so sweetly
Ringing out so clear?
Have you seen the star
Shining out so brightly
As a sign from God
That Christ the Lord is here?
Have you heard the news
That they bring from heaven
To the humble shepherds
Who have waited long?
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels sing
Their joyful song
He is come in peace
In the winter's stillness
Like a gentle snowfall
In the gentle night
He is come in joy
Like the sun at morning
Filling all the world
With radiance and with light
He is come in love
As the child of Mary
In a simple stable
We have seen his birth
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing
'Peace on earth'
He will bring new light
To a world in darkness
Like a bright star shining
In the skies above
He will bring new hope
To the waiting nations
When he comes to reign
In purity and love
Let the earth rejoice
At the Saviour's coming
Let the heavens answer
With the joyful morn
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing
'Christ is born'
Hear the angels singing
'Christ is born'
