1 Hear the angels gladly singing,
Christ the Savior now is born;
Shout the tidings, till all nations
Heed with joy this natal morn.

Refrain:
Glory, glory in the highest
Hear the angels sing again,
Glory, glory in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men.

2 Loud proclaim the wondrous message
Of a Savior’s lowly birth,
How He rested in the manger,
He, the Son of God on earth. [Refrain]

3 Lift your heads, ye faint and weary,
See your Lord, Immanuel, King,
Lend your voices to the chorus,
Let the shout triumphant ring. [Refrain]

4 Peace on earth, what glorious tidings,
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Let us haste to crown Immanuel
With a royal diadem. [Refrain]
