Christmas Hymn: Angels We Have Heard on High

I love the Christmas hymn, "Angels We Have Heard on High."  As we meditate on the truth of God's Anointed (Christ) coming into the world, we have plenty of reasons to sing the highest praise to God.  As the song reminds us, Jesus, the Lord of heaven and earth, came into our world to rescue us from sin and death.  The song, which so long ago, alerted the shepherds of Christ's arrival, is reflected in this hymn.  We are reminded--a Savior has been born, and he is worthy of infinite adoration.  As the song says, "Come, adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the new born King." And this Christmas let us sing glory to God in the highest (gloria in excelsis Deo).

This version is by Third Day:
