Glory to God in the high­est

...start

Glory to God! Glo­ry to God!...

...Fain would we sing to the Fount­ain of love;

What though but feeb­ly our ac­cents arise,...

...start

Hark! how it rings o’er and o’er!...

...As they hear the heav’n­ly cry.

Glory to God in the high­est!...

...Peace and good-will to men below.

Glory to God in the high­est,...

...Singing, came, Lo, Christ is born.

See! an­gel­ic hosts ad­vanc­ing,...

...Thro’ the pear­ly por­tals on them shed.

Came float­ing down the air;...

...Earthward on their shin­ing wings.

The val­leys re-ec­ho the strain;...

...Blossoms the Christ­mas tree.

Candles gleam ’gainst tin­sel bright,...
