Glory Be to God on High! (Monsell)

Glory be to God on high!

Peace on earth! good will to men!

Angels tell it from the sky

Sinners an­swer it again;

Ye who round the throne ad­mire

Ye who are re­deemed on earth

Swell the ev­er­last­ing choir

Sing the glo­ri­ous Sav­ior’s birth.

We were lost

but we are found

Dead

but now alive are we;

We were sore in bond­age bound

Till He came to set us free;

Strangers

and He takes us in

Naked

He be­comes our dress

Sick

and He from stain of sin

Cleanses with His right­eous­ness.

Therefore will we sing His praise

Who His lost ones hath re­stored

Hearts and voic­es both shall raise

Hallelujahs to the Lord;

Alleluia! Heav’n is won!

Alleluia! man is free!

Alleluia! God’s own Son

Savior is eter­na­lly!

In the low­est

far be­neath

All the depths of hu­man care

Where

amid the shades of death

Man knew no­thing but des­pair;

In the high­est

far above

Seraph’s gaze or an­gel’s ken

Glory to the God of Love!

Peace on earth! good will to men!
