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 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' 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'

Absolutely loved singing John Rutter pieces, such beautiful anthems. Loved singing this piece. Such a joyful uplifting piece.

[@WDRKlassik]

We're happy that you like it 🤗

[@poppyrowland1385]

All sounds the same to me. Low rent music that belongs on sentimental TV commercials. ICK.

[@carlsnowdon8810]

I totally agree with you,and love singing it too x

[@tabchoirreuploads]

​@@poppyrowland1385What makes you feel that way?

[@djb1164]

@@tabchoirreuploads arrogant snobbery, that's what. That person has the attitude that anything "popular" or beloved is to be looked down on.

Wunderschön und engelsgleich!

Our pleasure! We're glad that you like it 😊

[@gillchatfield3231]

So long since I've sung this. And so many of the choristers I sang it with now perhaps with the angels.

[@user-bc5vq2wm8m]

So much of his music is beautiful, Christmas Lullaby, All Things Bright and Beautiful, and Count Your Blessings are my favourites - last two so much nicer than the originals.

[@janie7242]

Peaceful and lovely!

[@davidlwebb324]

Beautifully sung. I love John Rutter’s music, especially whenever it is performed well.

Last November, Cor Medica of Tsurumi (Yokohama) sang this song and Candlelight, and then Halleluya(Hendel) with Ouchestra. This year we hope we would like to sing this lovely song together.
