158. Hark! what mean those holy voices

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

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

3 Christ is born, the great anointed,
Heaven and earth his praises sing;
Oh! receive whom God appointed,
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.

4 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!

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

6 Then we'll sing the wondrous story,
And we'll chant in hymns of joy;
Glory in the highest, Glory!
Glory be to God most high!
