Glory Be to God on High (Wordsworth)

Glory be to God on high

Love to man

and peace on earth;

Was the hymn which an­gels sang

Blessed Sav­ior

at Thy birth.

Thou

O Lord

our teach­er art

Lying in Thy cra­dle low

Preaching there to all the world

What is best for all to know.

God for us His on­ly Son

Sent from high­est realms above;

Wondrous gift! and sur­est sign

Of a heav’n­ly Fa­ther’s love.

God’s own Son

who made the world

Deigned a lit­tle child to be;

May we cast away all pride

And be low­ly

Lord

like Thee!

God the Son our na­ture took

Joining man to de­ity;

Make us keep our bo­dies pure

And be ho­ly

Lord

like Thee!

God the Son has willed us all

Members of Him­self to be;

Make us seek each oth­er’s weal

And be lov­ing

Lord

like Thee!

Glory to the Fa­ther give

Glory to the Spir­it be

And to our in­car­nate God

Glory ever

Lord

to Thee!
