Refrain: While the angels are singing A glad and glorious lay, Telling of the King of kings Who was born on Christmas Day; Behold Him lying so lowly In humble manger bed, and the bright stars Are softly twinkling over His head. (Repeat) 2 Over all the world His glory shines, With a light that naught can dim; And the rays of love that rise today Shall bring all the world to Him. [Refrain] 3 Over all His reign shall be complete, When the glory of His life Shall awaken chords of love that end All the jarring tones of strife.

Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years.
