1 “Glory in the highest,” hear the grand refrain,
Glory, glory, peace on earth, goodwill to me;
“Glory in the highest,” rang o’er Bethlehem’s plain;
Then the angels’ message rang again, again.
Refrain:
Glory in the highest, hear the angels’ song,
Glory in the highest, send the word along,
Glory, glory, glory, Christ the Lord is come!
Earth rejoice, a Saviour came this radiant morn.
2 On the plains of Juda, shepherds watch their sheep,
And a silent vigil, did the long night keep,
When a star blazed brightly in the azure sky,
While a burst of music, from the choirs on high. [Refrain]
3 Startled at the cadences, celestial, grand,
Now they hear the message, that they understand,
“Unto you, in Bethlehem, is born, this day,
Christ, the world’s Redeemer; go, your homage pay.” [Refrain]
4 Lo! we bring you tidings of great joy and peace,
Now shall reign a Saviour, and all strivings cease,
Prais’d they, softly singing, ere they took their flight,
“Glory in the Highest! Hail the King of Light.” [Refrain]
