New words for a christmas song

Merry merry.  The first verse is undoctored.

 

Angels we have heard on high
Singing softly through the night
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.

CHORUS:
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

Angels from the prophecy
fill the shepherd’s hearts with fear
neither real nor fantasy
disappear and reappear

Angels we have heard on high
sing the sacred and profane
birds are singing through the night
channeling the astral plane
