Behold, a Lucid Light Appears

Behold

a lu­cid light ap­pears

Which bright­ens all the east­ern sky;

Hark

hark

what sounds sa­lute our ears

All glo­ry give to God on high.

Good-will to men and peace on earth

The heav­en­ly choirs unit­ed cry

At the di­vine Re­deem­er’s birth

And glo­ry be to God on high.

Let mor­tals catch the sac­red flame

Till round the world the song shall fly

Which sounds the great Re­deem­er’s name

And glo­ry gives to God on high.
