1 Floating down the misty ages,
Hear the clear unceasing strain,
Sung at first by shining angels,
Over Bethlehem’s moonlit plain.

Refrain:
Glory in the highest, glory,
Lo! glad news to earth we bring,
Christ is born, a Prince and Savior,
Peace, good will to men we sing.

2 Hear ye not the little children,
List His name who blessing gave?
Hear ye not the old confessing,
All His mighty power to save? [Refrain]

3 Jesus, Lord, Thou King eternal,
Let us Thy salvation see;
Reign in us, Thou mighty Savior,
Hold us closer, Lord, to Thee. [Refrain]
