Vanessa Williams - Angels We Have Heard on High lyrics

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 oh 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 strain

Gloria, in excel sis deo

Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Shepherds why this jubilee

why your joyous strains prolong

What the gladsome tidings be

which inspire your heav'nly song

Gloria, in excel sis deo

Gloria, in excel sis deo, oh

Come to Bethlehem and see

him whose birth the angels sing

Come adore on bended knee

Christ the lord, the new born king

Gloria, in excel sis deo

Gloria, in excel sis 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
