1 Shout again the glad hosanna,
Shout again the glad hosanna,
Hither all your tributes bring;
Let the swelling anthem ring.

Chorus:
Peace, peace, peace,
For the morning star ascending,
Whispers softly, gently, peace, peace, peace,
Then shout again your glad hosanna,
Shout again your glad hosanna,
Shout again, shout again, shout, shout again!

2 O'er the hills the light is breaking,
Brightly glows the morning star;
And the watching shepherd haileth
Tidings, tidings from afar. [Chorus]

3 Let every one prolong the chorus,
Peace, good-will to men below;
Christ has come, and let the echo
Swell along from shore to shore. [Chorus]

4 Youth and age repeat the story,
God hath set the sinner free;
Unto him be all the glory,
Peal it over land and sea. [Chorus]
