Píseň: Angels We Have Heard on High

Interpret:
Aretha Franklin
Album:
This Christmas, Aretha
Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
Yeah 
Ooh, oh, ooh oh, yeah


Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains


Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo


Ooh, no, yeah, yeah
Shepards, why this jubilee
Why your joyous song prolong
What the gladsome tidings be 
Ohh
That inspire your heavenly 
Heavenly song, oh


Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo


Oh, oh, oh 
Oh, yeah
Oh 
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing 
Oh
Come on adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord 
Our newborn King


Glo-glo-glo-glo-ria
In excelsis Deo
Oh yeah


On the day 
That Christ was born
The angels sang 
Such a heavenly song
In excelsis Deo, ohh


Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
Angels we have heard on high
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
