Lyrics Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan Stevens

Angels We Have Heard On High

Angels we have heard on high

Singing for the earth's attention

And the mountains in reply

So much noise for my affection

Shepherds, why this jubilee

Have you seen a flying saucer?

And what the gladsome tidings be

Is it power and wealthier after?

Gloria, it speaks of your devotion

Gloria, the counting and commotion

Gloria, I cannot stand to listen

Gloria, it takes from my ambition

Gloria

Come to Bethlehem and see

The Son of God inside a manger

Come, adore on bended knee

Where dreams become your greatest danger

Gloria, it puts your heart in motion

Gloria, like some romantic notion

Gloria, it gives a great petition

Gloria, and takes from your ambition

Gloria

Gloria

Gloria

Gloria

Gloria

Gloria
