Angels' Carol

xx

1. Have you heard the sound, of the angel voices,
Ringing out so sweetly, ringing out so clear?
Have you seen the star shining out so brightly
As a sign from God, that Christ the Lord is here?
Have you heard the news that they bring from heaven,
To the humble shepherds who have waited long?

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels sing their joyful song.

 

2. He is come in peace in the winter's stillness,
Like a gentle snowfall in the gentle night;
He is come in joy like the sun at morning
Filling all the world with radiance and with light.
He is come in love as the child of Mary;
In a simple stable we have seen his birth:

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing "Peace on Earth."

 

3. He will bring new light to a world in darkness,
Like a bright star shining in the skies above;
He will bring new hope to the waiting nations
When he comes to reign in purity and love.
Let the earth rejoice at the Saviour's coming;
Let the heavens answer with the joyful morn:

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hear the angels singing "Christ is born",
Hear the angels singing "Christ is born."

1. Heb je de engelenstemmen gehoord,
zo zoet, zo helder klinkend?
Heb je de ster zien stralen
als teken van God, dat Christus de Heer er is?
Heb je het nieuws gehoord dat ze brengen uit de hemel
aan de nederige herders, die lang hebben gewacht?

 

Gloria in excelsis Deo, Gloria in excelsis Deo!
Hoor, de engelen zingen hun blijde lied.
