"Angels We Have Heard On High" is a Christmas song from the Yule Be Wiggling album and video.
Lyrics[]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o’er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this exaltation?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see him
For Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee,
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Trivia[]
- The word traditional is not listed in the song credits of the Australian release of the Yule Be Wiggling album.
- The clip and the closing scene of the Yule Be Wiggling video were most likely filmed around the same time, due to all of the same people sitting in the same locations.
- The 2000 and 2017 versions play in D, but the 2011 version plays in G.
