26. Glory be to God on high!--Hallelujah!

1 Glory be to God on high!--Hallelujah!*
God whose glory fills the sky:
Lift your voice, ye people all,
Praise the God on whom ye call.

2 God his sovereign sway maintains;
King o'er all the earth he reigns:
All to him lift up their eyes
He does every want supply.

3 Sons of earth the triumph join,
Praise him with the host divine;
Emulate the heavenly powers;
Their all-gracious God is ours.

4 Happy who his laws obey!
Them he rules with milder sway;
Pure and holy hearts alone
Shall in heaven surround his throne.

5 Him whose joy is to restore,
Him let all our hearts adore:
Earth and heaven repeat the cry,
"Glory be to God on high."
