Text: Aretha Franklin. This Christmas Aretha. Angels We Have Heard on High.
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their sweet refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ, 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
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we praise
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
Merry Christmas
From the Franklin's to all of you
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their sweet refrain
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Christ, 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
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid
While our hearts in love we praise
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
In excelsis Deo
Merry Christmas
From the Franklin's to all of you
