Chris Tomlin - The Angels Sing Lyrics

The Angels Sing retells the birth of Christ through images of darkness giving way to heavenly hope. The opening verse presents the child of Bethlehem as God revealed in human form, while the second turns to the shepherds who hear the heavenly announcement and approach the holy child. The chorus identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God and looks beyond the manger to his everlasting reign, joining incarnation, redemption, and kingship in one confession of praise.

The bridge draws directly on the language of the nativity accounts: glory in the highest, Emmanuel as God with his people, and an invitation to adore Christ. These phrases closely echo the angelic proclamation in Luke and Matthew’s explanation of the name Emmanuel. The song therefore treats Christmas as more than a quiet birth scene. Heaven’s praise announces the arrival of the promised Savior, and the repeated declaration that Christ is born gives the final section a clear focus on worship and enduring hope.
