The Jewel ‎#72

72. Glory to God

1 Merry, Merry chiming bells,
Stealing o'er the silent dells,
Happy news their music tells,
Glory in the highest,
Glory in the highest.

2 In a manger, far away,
Once the infant Saviour lay,
He was born on Christmas day,
Glory in the highest.

3 Born to die for you and me,
Born to set the captive free;
Prophets longed his birth to see,
Glory in the highest.

4 With the bells that sweetly chime,
Soon shall every heathen clime,
Hail the happy Christmas time,
Glory in the highest.

5 Let the joyful echo fly,
Angels sing and earth reply,
Glory be to God on high,
Glory in the highest.
