Angels We Have Heard On High
Andrea Bocelli (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tiding did you hear?
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above,
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.
The song "Angels We Have Heard on High" by Andrea Bocelli (Holiday) is a classic Christmas carol that recounts the story of the angels' announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ. The song paints a vivid picture of the shepherds on the hillsides watching their flocks at night when suddenly they hear a chorus of angels singing in the skies above. The song describes the beauty of the angels' voices and the joy they share as they proclaim the news of the Savior's birth.
The lyrics express the shepherds' curiosity as to why such great jubilation accompanies this news. The shepherds are urged to come and see the new-born child, Jesus Christ, who is lying in a manger in Bethlehem. The song asks us all to join the shepherds and "adore on bended knee" the Christ, the Lord, who has come to save us all. The song captures the essence of Christmas – the joyous hope for salvation, the wonderment of the miraculous birth, and the gratitude and love for the Lord's grace.

Angels we have heard on high,
We've heard the angels singing from above
Singing sweetly through the night,
Their singing was charming and pleasant on this silent, holy night
And the mountains in reply
Even the mountains echoed their joyful song
Echoing their brave delight.
Reverberating their happy news with boldness and vigor
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
We also give our praises to God in the highest

Come, adore on bended knee
Kneel down and show worship
Christ, the Lord, the new-born King.
Jesus is the Lord and the new King born on this day
See him in a manger laid
Look at Him lying in a feeding trough
Whom the angels praise above,
The one that the angels are singing praises about

Mary and Joseph help us
While we raise our hearts in love.
While we show devotion and love in our hearts

Andrea Bocelli's voice is amazing. To use it to honor our Savior's birth must be very pleasing to God.

@Muhammadsoyabaktar
Allaah is the first and the last and the manifest and the hidden and Allaah has knowledge of everything - (Quraan 57:3).
God is spirit and his worshippers must worship him in spirit and truth - (Bible Gospel of John 4:24).
Prophet Jesus has sent Prophet Muhammad in Allaah's command - (Quraan 33: 45-46 indirectly and Bible Gospel of John 16: 7,12,13,14).
According to the Quraan also Allaah has given authority to Prophet Jesus to judge at the day of judgement and Prophet Jesus was present with Allaah during the creation of the Universe - (Quraan 21: 29-30 indirectly).
In Quraan 21:29 it is mentioned indirectly that Prophet Jesus will send those Christians to hell who say that Prophet Jesus is also a God besides Allaah.
