The story of Christmas could not be told without angels. In the Bible, nine differ-ent angels are mentioned, with names like Raphael, who provides God’s healing; Michael, who performs acts of justice; and perhaps most important of all, Gabriel, who delivers God’s messages. Those messages were foretold by prophets centuries ago, and came to pass on one amazing night.

An angel announced the incredible news to Mary, gave Jesus his very name, and told Joseph to take Mary as his wife. Then, on that night of nights, an angel brought the news to the shepherds. How thrilling it must have been to hear an angel’s voice! Isaiah tells us that their voices made doors and thresholds tremble; Luke tells us that their voices were glorious and filled the heavens.

Angels came on that first Christmas to spread the news of God’s love and grace. As we remember and celebrate, let us carry the messages of the angels in our hearts throughout the year. Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

Songs and TextsAn Advent Diptych

Joseph GregorioBorn in 1979, composer Joseph Gregorio currently serves as director of choirs at Swarthmore College, and is the director of the chamber choir Ensemble Companio, which he founded in 2011. As a composer he has won many awards for his works, which range from solemn to whimsical. Perhaps his most unusual choir anthem is “Chocolate Chip Cookies,” using a favorite recipe for the text.

There were shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them,

Fear not, for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Fear not, fear not.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ, the Lord. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

GloriaAntonio Vivaldi

Antonio Luccio Vivaldi, born in Venice in 1678, was nicknamed the “Red Priest” for his red hair. When he left the altar during Mass due to a chronic health condition, he was removed from his duties as a parish priest and reassigned to be the violin instructor and composer for a local orphanage. His music, including operas, concertos, and sacred anthems, was well loved by Venetians and the European aristocracy during his lifetime, but after his death, his music was forgotten for about a century. Vivaldi composed two settings of “Gloria in excelsis.” The setting heard in this concert received its first modern performance in Siena, Italy, on Sept. 20, 1939. Since then, it has become one of the most popular Baroque works for chorus and orchestra.

I. Gloria in excelsisGloria in excelsis Deo. Glory be to God in the highest.

II. Et in terra paxEt in terra pax hominibus And on earth peace to men bonae voluntatis. of good will.

The First NoelTraditional English carol, arr. Mark R. Kellner

This classical carol of Cornish origin was first published in 1823. Musician Eric Routley has described it as “repetitive to the point of hideous boredom” because when all nine verses are sung, one two-line phrase is repeated 27 times! This setting was arranged by Mark Kellner, who has written, arranged, or orchestrated over 400 selections for recording and now serves as Pastor of Worship and Music at the Wheaton Evangelical Free Church near Chicago.

The first Noel, the angel did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay. In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

They looked up and saw a star shining in the east, beyond them far, and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night.

Noel, noel. Noel, noel. Born is the King of Israel.

And by the light of that same star three wise men came from country far; to seek for a king was their intent, and to follow the star wherever it went.

This star drew nigh to the northwest, over Bethlehem it took its rest, and there it did both stop and stay, right over the place where Jesus lay.


Then entered in those wise men three, full rev’rently upon their knee, and offered there in His presence their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.

Then let us all with one accord sing praises to our heav’nly Lord, that hath made heav’n and earth of naught, and with His blood mankind hath bought.


Angels We Have Heard on HighTraditional French carol, arr. Craig Courtney

People began to chant “Gloria in excelsis Deo” in Christmas Eve worship services as early as 130 A.D. The phrase means “Glory to God in the highest” (Luke 2:14). In medieval times, shepherds in the hills of southern France had a Christmas Eve custom of calling to one another, singing this same phrase. The traditional tune that the shepherds used may have been from a late Medieval Latin chorale. It became the magnificent chorus of “Angels We Have Heard on High.”

Angels we have heard on high sweetly singing o’er the plains, And the mountains in reply echo back their joyous strain. Sing gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why your jubilee? Shepherds, why your joyous strains prolong? Say what may the tidings be which inspire your heav’nly song? Sing gloria in excelsis Deo.

Come to Bethlehem, and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King. Sing gloria in excelsis Deo.

O Come, All Ye FaithfulTraditional, arr. Jackson Berkey

Words by John F. WadeThe original Latin hymn, “Adeste Fideles,” was penned by John Wade, an 18th century music teacher who specialized in copying plainchant melodies for use in the chapels and homes of prominent families in France. It was translated into English by the Rev. Frederick Oakley in 1842 and published ten years later. Jackson Berkey’s lively arrangement is part of a collection of Christmas hymns and carols he prepared as an anniversary gift to his wife.

O come, all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant. Come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold Him, born the King of angels.

Come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

Sing glory to God in the highest! Glory!

Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation. Sing, all ye bright hosts of heav’n above. Glory to God! All glory in the highest!


Yea, Lord, we greet Thee, born this joyous morning, O Jesus, to Thee be all glory given! O word of the Father, now in flesh appearing.

Angels, from the Realms of GloryHenry T. Smart, arr. Larry Shackley

Words by James MontgomeryA prolific poet and journalist, James Montgomery was editor of The Sheffield Iris newspaper for 32 years. He was a staunch supporter of Irish causes and a strong opponent of slavery in Britain. On Christmas Eve, 1816, the editorial page of the Iris contained his new poem: “Angels from the Realms of Glory.” Fifty years later, the composer Henry Smart set the lyrics to his melody “Regent Square,” the hymn as we know it today.

Angels, from the realms of glory, wing your flight o’er all the earth; ye who sang creation’s story, now proclaim Messiah’s birth: Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King.

Shepherds, in the fields abiding, watching o’er your flocks by night, God with us is now residing, yonder shines the infant light. Oh, won’t you come and worship? Worship Christ, the newborn King?

Saints before the altar bending, watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, in his temple shall appear. Come and worship, come and worship, worship Christ, the newborn King.

Come and worship the King!

O Holy NightAdolphe Adam, arr. Kirby ShawEnglish words by John S. Dwight

These words were composed by a French commissionaire of wines, the tune composed by a man of Jewish ancestry. First performed in 1847, the song was wholeheartedly accepted, then denounced, by church leaders in France. Nevertheless, the French continued to sing it, and a decade later, it was translated by American writer John Dwight. On Christmas Eve 1906, it was part of the very first AM radio broadcast.

O holy night! The stars are brightly shining, it is the night of our dear Savior’s birth. Long lay the world in sin and error pining, ’til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.

Oh, a thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn; Oh, fall on your knees; Oh, hear the angel voices! Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born!

O night, O holy night, O night divine!

Hark! The Herald Angels SingFelix Mendelssohn, arr. Timothy L. Bandy

Words by Charles WesleyThis popular carol was more than 100 years in the making, and involved three people who didn’t know each other. Charles Wesley wrote the words in 1739 and Felix Mendelssohn created the music in 1840. After Mendelssohn’s death, the melody and text were put together in 1856 by British musician William Cummings, in spite of evidence that neither author nor composer would have approved: Mendelssohn had made it clear that his music was for secular use, and Wesley had specifically requested slow solemn music for his lyrics.

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King. Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King.”

Christ, by highest heav’n adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord! Late in time, behold Him come, Offspring of the Virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see. Hail th’incarnate Deity, Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel.


Hail the heav’n born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die. Born to raise the sons of earth. Born to give them second birth.


Gloria! Glory to God and peace to all the nations! Listen to the angels singing of His glory! Glory to the newborn King!


The Angel GabrielBasque Traditional, arr. Robert A.M. Ross

English text by Sabine Baring-GouldBased on Luke 1, this song tells of the Archangel Gabriel’s visit to Mary. The biblical text tells us Gabriel also visited Zechariah, husband of Mary’s cousin Elizabeth. The births of both Jesus and John the Baptist were so important that God sent an angel synonymous with grand announcements. For this story to have survived until the time Luke wrote his Gospel, Mary must surely have treasured it in her heart!

The angel Gabriel from heaven came, His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame: “All hail,” said he, “thou lowly maiden Mary.” Most highly favor’d lady! Gloria!

“For known a blessed mother thou shalt be; All generations laud and honor thee: Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold.” Most highly favor’d lady! Gloria!

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head, “To me be as it pleaseth God!” she said. “My soul shall laud and magnify His holy name.” Most highly favor’d lady! Gloria!

Of her Emmanuel, the Christ, was born, In Bethlehem, all on a Christmas morn; And Christian folk throughout the world will ever say: Most highly favor’d lady! Gloria! Gloria! Gloria!

Midnight ClearPhilip Kern

Words by Edmund H. SearsUnitarian minister Edmund Sears wrote these lyrics “during a period of personal melancholy.” They were published in 1849 and have been criticized as too secular as they never mention Jesus Christ. Despite the critics, this carol has been a favorite since the 19th century. This version was arranged by Philip Kern, Associate Professor of Music at Marian University in Indianapolis.

It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold. “Peace on the earth, goodwill to all, From heaven’s all gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing.

Still through the skies the angels come With peaceful wings unfurl’d. And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world. Look now! For glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road and hear the angels sing.

For lo! The days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old. When with the ever-circling years, Shall come the time foretold. All heav’n and earth anew shall praise the Prince of Peace, their King. And all the world shall hear the song which now the angels sing: “Hallelujah!”

What Child Is This?16th century English tune, arr. Grant Cochran

Words by William DixEnglish writer William Chatterton Dix wrote this popular Christmas carol in 1865. At the age of 29, Dix was struck with a near-fatal illness. He suffered months confined to his bed, during which time he became severely depressed. Yet out of his near-death experience, Dix wrote many hymns, including a poem entitled “The Manger Throne,” from which three stanzas were later set to the traditional English tune “Greensleeves” and retitled “What Child is This?”

What child is this who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping, Whom angels greet with anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary!

Why lies he in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christian fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary!

So bring him incense, gold and myrrh; Come, peasant, king to own him. The King of Kings salvation brings: Let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise your song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby. Joy! Joy! for Christ is born, the Babe, the Son of Mary!

Monotone AngelDon McAfee

Don McAfee’s musical arrangement of the angel who wants to sing in the heavenly choir has been a Christmastime favorite since it was composed in 1973. It may not be a musical masterpiece, but almost everyone can relate to the story of the angel who cannot sing in tune but continues to try because he wants to be able to sing “Gloria in Excelsis Deo.”

Gloria in excelsis Deo! Gloria in excelsis Deo!

Once there was a monotone angel who wanted to sing in the Christmas choir. Sitting on a cloud, he would practice trying to make his voice go higher. Over and over all morning long; he could not sing the Christmas song.

When the time had come to audition, he sang his part though he shook with fear, And those pearly gates really rattled when he sang out so loud and clear. He sang the song with all of his might, although the tune was not quite right.

If on Christmas Eve you will listen and you hear angels in the sky, You will notice one voice is diff’rent— you cannot miss it if you try, Yes, the little monotone angel joins all the world in the Christmas song!


Joy (with “Joy to the World”)Kirk Franklin and Mervyn Warren,

arr. Dave MadduxIsaac Watts composed “Joy to the World,” which actually refers to Christ’s second coming, not His birth in Bethlehem. In 1992, Gospel composer Kirk Franklin wrote the words and music for “Joy,” featured in the movie “The Preacher’s Wife” and sung by Whitney Houston. Seattle composer Dave Maddux produced this choral arrangement, combining “Joy” with “Joy to the World.”

Joy, joy, God’s great joy! Joy, joy, down in my soul. Sweet, beautiful, soul-saving joy!

Oh, joy, joy in my soul!

Listen to the music, the sound of the angels! Come and see the Child who can make you whole, lying in a manger, away from harm and danger!

He’s sent from up above, this special gift of love; more precious than silver or gold. He was sent this holiday to take our pain away.

Go tell it on the mountain! Shout it from the valley! Tell them of the baby in swaddling clothes! Every single nation, come join the celebration!

Joy to the world! For the Lord, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her King! Let ev’ry heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and nature sing! Go tell of His glory! Go shout the new story! Let heaven, let heaven and nature sing!

Joy to the world! For the Lord, the Lord is come. Let earth receive her King! Let fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains repeat the sounding joy! Repeat the sounding joy! Go tell of His glory! Go shout the new story! Let heaven, let heaven and nature sing!

Sing with heaven and nature, Joy to the world!

Silent NightFranz Gruber, arr. Michael Sharp

Words by Josef MohrThe tune for this carol was composed at the last minute for the Christmas Eve mass at St. Nicholas Church in Oberndorf, a tiny village near Salzburg, Austria. On the afternoon of December 24, 1818, assistant priest Joseph Mohr discovered the organ was not working, so he gave one of his poems to his organist and asked him to set the words to music. The piece was quickly learned by the church’s choir just before the service, and sung with guitar accompaniment. It has now been translated into 140 languages and is one of the most recorded songs in history.

Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright, Round yon Virgin mother and child. Holy infant, so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.

Alleluia, alleluia, allelu.

Silent night, holy night, wondrous star, lend thy light; With the angels let us sing, Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, to our Savior and King!

Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love’s pure light; Radiant beams from Thy holy face With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.
