Angels We Have Heard on High
Heavenly Revelations: Unveiling the Spiritual Message in Collin Raye's Melody
Lyrics
Angels we have heard on high
Referencing the angels that have been heard singing in the sky.
Singing sweetly over the plains
Describing the angels' sweet singing over the open fields.
And the mountains in reply
Noting that the mountains respond to the angelic singing.
Echoing back their joyous strains
Indicating that the mountains echo the joyous melodies of the angels.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Repeating the phrase "Gloria in Excelsis Deo," which is Latin for "Glory to God in the highest."
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
-Shepards, why this jubilee?
Questioning the shepherds about the reason for their jubilation.
Why your joyous strains prolong
Asking why the shepherds continue to express their joyful melodies.
Say what may the tidings be
Inquiring about the news or message that is inspiring their heavenly joy.
Which inspire your heavenly
Continuing the inquiry into the divine inspiration behind the shepherds' joyous expressions.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Reiterating the phrase "Gloria in Excelsis Deo."
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
-Come to Bethlehem and see
Inviting others to come to Bethlehem to witness a significant event.
Him whose birth the angels sing
Identifying the event as the birth of a child whose arrival is celebrated by the angels.
Come, adore on bended knee
Encouraging people to adore the newborn on bended knee.
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King
Specifying that the newborn is Christ, the Lord, and the new-born King.
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
Repeating the phrase "Gloria in Excelsis Deo."
Gloria in Excelsis Deo
