in the high­est

...Comes the echo soft and low;

Of the song in Beth­l’em car­oled,...

...Hail to the morn when Christ is born!

Angels on high sing thro’ the sky!...

...Hail to the morn when Christ is born!

Angels on high sing thro’ the sky!...

...start

Angels in chor­us joy­ful­ly cry;...

...start

Hark! how it rings o’er and o’er!...

...start

Glory to God! Glo­ry to God!...

...It is the feast of palms to­day;

When Christ, the Lord of all, drew nigh...

...Joyful news their mu­sic tells,

Glory be to God on high,...

...Peace on earth, good will to men,

Glory, glo­ry, we will sing,...

...Peace on earth, good will to men,

Glory, glo­ry, we will sing,...

...start

Lo! the migh­ty strain...

...Christ our Lord is ris­en in might,

Alleluia! Al­le­lu­ia!...

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

Glory to God in the high­est,...

...Till it ech­oed in the earth be­low?

Peace on earth, good­will to men,...

...Sang to ce­le­brate His birth.

Sang the glad an­gel­ic strain:...

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

See! an­gel­ic hosts ad­vanc­ing,...

...Ding dong! Ve­ri­ly the sky is riv’n with an­gel sing­ing.

E’en so here be­low, be­low, let stee­ple bells be swung­en,...

...Came that chant sub­lime—

Glory to God on high....

...As they hear the heav’n­ly cry.

Glory to God in the high­est!...
