to God on high

...Sang be­neath the vault­ed sky,

Then a light, ex­ceed­ing bright,...

...Thro’ the si­lence heard,

Glory to God, be to God on high,...

...Repeat the hymn again:

And peace on earth to men!...

...If we have seen him we have seen the Fa­ther:

Christ is the world’s peace, Christ and none oth­er;...

...To you a Sav­ior, Christ, is born,

He left the shin­ing worlds ab­ove,...

...Glory in the high­est glo­ry!

Hallelujah! Glo­ry to God,...

...Hark, hark, what sounds sa­lute our ears,

Good-will to men and peace on earth,...

...Gloria in ex­cel­sis Deo,

When the crown-like stars were lus­trous,...

...Before their watch should cease,

And on the earth be peace....

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

Christ the Lord is born—Amen....

...Glory to Christ our king,

Glory, glo­ry to God!...

...Herald the Fa­ther’s Son;

Hail Him, hail Him,...

...Glory in the high­est:

Glory in the high­est....

...Chanted at the won­drous birth,

Peace, good-will to man on earth....
