Lyrics

They want to stop the angels when they sing
They want to stop the light that heaven brings
But they're ascending, they're ascending
Voices pure and never ending

Higher, higher, hear them calling
Sacred sound, celestial falling
Through the darkness, wings are beating
Ancient hymns, forever repeating

They want to stop, stop, stop
The angels at the top, top, top
But heaven will not drop, drop, drop
They want to stop
The angels singing

They want to stop the chorus in the sky
They want to stop the seraphim that fly
But they're transcending, they're transcending
Silver voices, never bending

Gloria, gloria
Angels singing
Bells are ringing
Children's voices
Heaven's choices
Can you hear them?
Drawing near them
Nothing stops them
Nothing stops them

They want to stop, stop, stop
The angels at the top, top, top
But heaven will not drop, drop, drop
They want to stop
The angels singing

Angels singing, angels singing
Bells are ringing, bells are ringing
They want to stop...
The angels singing

They want to stop the angels when they sing
They want to stop the light that heaven brings
But they're ascending, they're ascending
Voices pure and never ending

Higher, higher, hear them calling
Sacred sound, celestial falling
Through the darkness, wings are beating
Ancient hymns, forever repeating

They want to stop, stop, stop
The angels at the top, top, top
But heaven will not drop, drop, drop
They want to stop
The angels singing

They want to stop the chorus in the sky
They want to stop the seraphim that fly
But they're transcending, they're transcending
Silver voices, never bending

Gloria, gloria
Angels singing
Bells are ringing
Children's voices
Heaven's choices
Can you hear them?
Drawing near them
Nothing stops them
Nothing stops them

They want to stop, stop, stop
The angels at the top, top, top
But heaven will not drop, drop, drop
They want to stop
The angels singing

Angels singing, angels singing
Bells are ringing, bells are ringing
They want to stop...
The angels singing
