Description:
Imagine being there on the night Jesus was born. As angelic praise filled the air the unsuspecting shepherds shivered with fear. Mary holding her precious child just sat and pondered in awe as the shepherds praised God in amazement. It must of been a phenomenal sight. I pray that this Christmas season we will take the time to meditate on the wondrous and priceless gift that we have been given. We certainly didn't deserve Him, but He came just for us, to redeem us and give us life. If you didn't receive this gift yet I pray that you do today. May your holiday season be Blessed and may we all be thankful for HIS amazing gift throughout the year.
May God Bless you as you listen.

The wonderful piano rendition of this beloved hymn was arranged and performed by the gifted pianist Solomon Keal.

Lyrics:
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

Refrain:

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?

Refrain:

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Refrain:

Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Thank you Feter -
for your warm comments. Wow I am very glad you like it so much. I hope the message of the song has touched your heart and has blessed you.

As for the song no unfortunately I did not write it hehe - the words are from a traditional French carol "Les Anges dans Nos Cam­pagnes" which were translated to English by James Chadwick.

May your holiday season be Blessed.
