I went down in the valley one day I heard the angels singing I heard a voice, I saw no one I heard the angels sing What you reckon and the angels said I heard the angels singing Your sins is forgiven 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 sing What you reckon and the devil said I heard the angels singing He said that heaven's door is closed, go home don't pray But I heard the angels sing I said get back sit down, get out of my way I heard the angels sing I don't wanna hear another word you say I heard the angels sing Just when I thought my soul was lost I heard the angels sing My dungeon was shook and my chains dropped off I heard the angels sing You know the people come running saying what's it all about I heard the angels singing The Holy Ghost hit me I could not help but shout I heard the angels sing I heard the angels singing I heard the angels sing In that great getting up morning I heard the angels singing In that great getting up morning I heard the angels Hallelujah! In that morning
