Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book ‎#26

26. Hark! what mean those holy voices

1 HARK! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo, th'angelic host rejoices;
Heavenly hallelujahs rise.

2 Listen to the wondrous story,
Which they chant, in hymns of joy,
"Glory in the highest, glory!
Glory be to God most high!

3 "Peace on earth, good will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven!
Loud our golden harps shall sound.

4 "Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth, His praises sing!
O receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.

5 "Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His Name and taste His joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before Him;
Glory be to God most high!"

6 Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth;
Spread the brightness of His glory,
Till it cover all the earth.
