"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a famous song written by James Chadwick in

1862. The lyrics were written to fit the tune of the French hymn, “Les Anges Dans

Nos Campagnes,” which translates to 'The Angels in our Countryside' in English.

Chadwick's lyrics are clearly inspired by but are not a direct translation of the

French song though there are several similarities. It is, therefore, considered a

derivative work.

James Chadwick was born in Ireland in 1813. He was an Anglo-Irish Roman

Catholic priest and second Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle. He is famous for

writing the song, “Angels We Have Heard on High.”

The song's subject is the birth of Jesus Christ as narrated in the Gospel of Luke.

Luke 2:8-15 describes the scene in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter

a multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child, Jesus Christ.

The song is a very popular Christmas carol and appears in hymnals across the

globe. It has also been recorded by a multitude of famous artists including Josh

Groban and Pentatonix.

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at

night.

9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they

were terrified.

10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for

all the people.

11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and

saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s

go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
