Angelic Hosts Sing Praises at Christ's Birth


Luke 2:13-14, "Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising GOD and saying, 'Glory to GOD  in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests."

Does GOD's peace rest on you? It can! That's why He came to earth to redeem mankind of their sins. 

Angelic singing, wow! The words to the following song really gives the feeling of what that first Christmas must have been wlike.

"Angels We Have Heard on High"

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

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!


See Him in a manger laid
Jesus LORD of heaven and earth;
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
With us sing our Savior's birth.

Gloria, in excelsis deo!
Gloria, in excelsis deo!
