Angels we have heard on high. Sweetly singing o'er the plains,. And the mountains in reply. Echoing their joyous strains.. . Ooh, ooh, ooh.... Gloria, in excelsis Deo!.
(theresa). Lost in your dark. I see you there. What do you see beyond your stare. And you believe that no one else can know. . What is this thing you keep inside.

[Instrumental]. . THAT FIRST LETTER, THAT SHE HAD READ. . IN THAT ATTIC FAR FROM BED. . WAS FROM A FATHER TRYING TO SAY. . HOW HIS FIRST CHILD SAW CHRISTMAS DAY.

An angel returned. That night through the sky. But time it was short. He had to decide. . And so as he flew. Back over the land. A gift for his Lord. Was there in his hand.
An angel came down. One night to the earth. A mission from God. To find out the worth. . Of everything that. His children had done. Since that winter night.
