“Angel’s Carol”
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 singin’ Christ is born
Hear the angels singin’ Christ is born…
