Christmas brings with it the traditional Hymns and Christmas Carols - there is none more traditional than the wonderful Hymn written by Johann Sebastian Bach - Gloria in Excelsis Deo, otherwise known as the Angelic Hymn or The Doxology. My inspiration for Faith Art Friday at Layers of Color was this majestic Hymn.
Angels we have on heard highSweetly singing ore the plainsAnd the mountains in replyEchoing their joyous strains
Gloria in excelsis DeoGloria 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 laidWhom the choirs of angels praiseMary, Joseph, lend your aidWhile our hearts in love we raise
Gloria in excelsis DeoGloria, in excelsis DeoGloria in excelsis Deo
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.Luke 2:14
Amen and amen!
