"Angels We Have Heard on High" is a Christmas carol with the lyrics written by James Chadwick (bishop), to the music from a French song called 'Les Anges Dans Nos Campagnes'. The music is the same as the original song, though Chadwick's lyrics albeit unique and original are clearly derived and inspired, and in parts loosely translated from the original song. The song commemorates the story of the birth of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel of Luke, in which shepherds outside Bethlehem encounter a multitude of angels singing and praising the newborn child.
