Ainglean chuala sinn gu h-àrd — Lyrics
1. Aing lean chuala sinn gu hàrd.
Seinn cho milis feadh an àit'.
Na beanntannan cosheirm an cùil.
‘S Mac tall a freag airt bòidh each ciùin:
Seinn moladh agus glòir do Dhia.
An Dàrna Pearsa naomh den Trian.
2. Chìobairean, carson ur duan?
Carson a tha e àlainn buan
Innsibh dhuinn ur naidheachdghaoil

About Ainglean chuala sinn gu h-àrd
This traditional Scottish Gaelic carol celebrates the birth of Christ. The text, which speaks of angels singing praises, shepherds being awakened by heavenly music, and the invitation to Bethlehem to adore the newborn King, is given a clear and direct expression in this unison setting. The message of praise and glory to God, and the adoration of the Second Person of the Trinity, is central to the carol's profound devotional spirit. Suitable for Christmas services and concerts, its straightforward vocal line makes it accessible for choirs of all abilities, allowing the beauty of the Gaelic text and its sacred message to shine through.
