peace on earth

...start

Je­sus is born!...

...From the an­gels then—

And Good­will to men!...

...By an­gel choirs from glo­ry.

Good will to men,...

...And wild and sweet the words re­peat

And thought how, as the day had come,...

...Rang the car­ol of re­demp­tion,

Peace on earth, O migh­ty chor­us!...

...To God on high be glo­ry

The Word be­comes in­car­nate...

...Earth re­spond­ed to that heav’n­ly mes­sage,

In ex­ult­ant strain the chor­us end­ed;...

...Carol, car­ol, child­ren! For this is Christ­mas day.

That was the an­gels’ song....

...In rap­tu­rous songs th’ev­ent in­spires,

The Won­der­ful! The Coun­se­lor! The migh­ty God!...

...In rap­tu­rous songs th’ev­ent in­spires,

The Won­der­ful! The Coun­se­lor! The migh­ty God!...

...So sing we now the song again

Oh, let us then our tongues em­ploy;...

...Glory in the high­est, glo­ry,

Hark a chor­us grand,...

...The an­gel breathes to earth again,

O star that shone in bright­ness there,...

...Heav’nly voic­es chan­ting then,

Still the earth in dark­ness lies....

...Glory to God in the high­est,

Good will tow’rd men,...
