Hymnal ‎#20

20. Hark! what mean those holy voices

1 Hark! what mean those holy voices
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! the angelic host rejoices,
Heavenly alleluias 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 to magnify,
Till in heaven ye sing before him,
Glory be to God most high!
