Angels We Have Heard On High / Joy Has Dawned (Live)

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!

Joy has dawned upon the world
Promised from creation
God's salvation now unfurled
Hope for every nation
Not with fanfares from above
Not with scenes of glory
But a humble gift of love
Jesus born of Mary

Shepherds bow before the Lamb
Gazing at the glory
Gifts of men from distant lands
Prophesy the story
Gold, a King is born today
Incense, God is with us
Myrrh, His death will make a way
And by His blood, He'll win us

Son of Adam, Son of Heaven
Given as a ransom
Reconciling God and man
Christ, our mighty champion
What a Savior, what a Friend
What a glorious mystery
Once a babe in Bethlehem
Now the Lord of history

Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Gloria in excelsis Deo!

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!
