One of the Most Famous Christmas Hymns

It’s appropriate that on the third week of Advent my favorite Christmas carol Angels We Have Heard on High is on the third Day. I just LOVE this song and LOVE to play it on the piano during Christmas Eve service when the whole congregation is singing.
I could have saved this for Christmas Day and I almost did, but I love it too much. I like to listen to it during the last week of Advent leading up to Christmas.

Playlist- Angels We Have Heard on High: Third Day, Chris Tomlin & other artists
I can seriously listen to this Christmas song over and over. So I created a YouTube Playlist. Yes, I have it playing in the background as I’m writing right now. The Pentatonix version is here too, can’t leave them out. If you haven’t figured out they are also one of my favorite acapella groups.

Angels We Have Heard on High Sheet Music

My favorite sheet music to Angels We Have Heard on High isn’t listed here. The reason why is I composed my own version from the Lutheran Hymnal. I love arpeggios and over the years I have come up with my own composition. Maybe one year I will plug in my keyboard and get it down on sheet music.
But here are a few choices. A tip, let the chorus rip! Roll with it, be confident and let it announce the birth of the baby Jesus the newborn King!!

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly, sweetly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brief delight
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?
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
Yeah
Gloria, in Excelsis Deo

Angels We Have Heard on High: Piano Guy Lyrics

Gloria, Gloria
Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o’er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation’s story,
Now proclaim Messiah’s birth:
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, Gloria
Saints before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending,
In His temple shall appear:
Though an Infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father’s throne,
Gather all the nations to Him;
Every knee shall then bow down:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
