Representative Text

1 Out of every clime and people,
Under every holy name,
Is the everlasting Gospel,
Good and glad for aye the same;
So we, in our happy Christmas,
Breathe the universal creed,
Clasping hands with distant ages,
In a brotherhood indeed.

Refrain:
Hark! we hear again the chorus,
Echoing through the starry sky,
And we join the heav’nly anthem,
Glory be to God on high!

2 Sing aloud, then hearts and voices,
Shout, O new world, free and strong;
Hail of Light the deathless triumph,
Join the old world’s birthday song:
"Glory be to God the highest!
Peace on earth, good will to men!"
’Twas the morning stars that pealed it,
Let the world respond again. [Refrain]
