LOC FAF Gloria in Excelsis Deo


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 high
Sweetly singing ore the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains


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 raise



Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo


Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2:14

Amen and amen!
