Author: John Cawood Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #218 (1899) Lyrics: 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 glory sing!
Oh, 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 we sing before Him,
'Glory be to God most high!'"
