I went down in the valley one day I heard the angels singing Heard a voice saw no one I heard the angels singing What you think them angels said I heard the angels singing Your sins is forgiven and your soul is free I heard the angels sing I went down in the valley one day I heard the angels singing I seen an old Devil walk down my way I heard the angels singing What you reckon that old devil say I heard the angels singing He said that Heaven's doors are closed go home and don't pray
But I heard the angels singing Just when I thought my soul was lost I heard the angels singing My dungeon was shook and my chains dropped off I heard the angels singing You know the people come running saying what's it all about I heard the angels sing The Holy Ghost hit I could not help but shout I heard the angels sing In that great getting up morning I heard the angels singing In that great getting up morning I heard my angels - Hallelujah!
