[Verse 1]
Angels from the realms of glory
Wing your flight over all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim the Messiah's birth

[Chorus]
Gloria...
In Excelsis Day O

[Verse 2]
Shepherds, in the field abiding
Watching over your flocks by night
God with us is now residing;1
Yonder shines the infant light

[Chorus]
Gloria...
In Excelsis Day O

[Verse 3]
Sages, leave your contemplations
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star

[Chorus]
Gloria...
In Excelsis Day O

Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
