Aingil chualamar as ard - Angels we have heard on high

Crib

The illustration above is a fine picture of the holy family at Bethlehem. St. Joseph has his sleeves rolled up as he was a worker, a carpenter by trade. He is young looking, not like the older Josephs seen in other pictures. What you are hearing is a traditional French carol (Les Anges dans Nos Cam�pagnes); translated from French to English by Bishop James Chadwick who was born in Drogheda, Ireland on April 24, 1813 and in 1866 became Catholic Bishop of Hexam and Newcastle.

 Traidisiúnta
Aingil chualamar as ard
Ag ceol go haoibhinn ar fud na mbán
Agus na beanna ag taobhú leo
Le macalla suairc a ndán

Curf�
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Tuige, Aoirí , bhur lúcháir?
Cad fé ndear bhur ngliondar buan
Nochtaidh dúinn an scéala láir
Tá mar spreagach le bhur nduan

Curf�

Gluais, go bhfeicfir mBeitheal romhat
An t-É a mhórann c�r ainglí
Tar 's umhlaigh 'n omós Dó
Críost a saolaíodh ina Rí

Curf�

Féach sa mhainséar ina luí
Íosa, Tiarna neimhe 's talún
A Mhuire, 's Iosaif, 's é ár nguí
Gean a chothú Dó fá rún

Curf�

 Bishop James Chadwick
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains

Chorus:
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song

Chorus

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing.
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

Chorus

See him in a manger laid
Whom the angels praise above;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While we raise our hearts in love.

Chorus
