Congratulations to all that started singing this weekend and shared in
the holiday spirit.
Eric Kieboom was first to answer completely, and Alan Black got it as
well.
Several of you got the Title of the Song, even though your lyrics varied
quite amusingly.
The answer is "Hark the HERALD Angels sing....."
And the line that refers to our Spitfires...
"Join the TRIUMPHS of the Skies"
That has to refer to our beloved Spitfire!

I even learned more about Triumphs through all of this, thanks to Eric.
GLORIA (In Excelsis Deo), with Gloria being an early model of Triumph.

It was a pre-war model, came with 4 and 6 cylinder engines.

Never be afraid to try something new.
Remember that amateurs built the ark.
Professionals built the Titanic.
