Glory in the Highest (Zimmerman)

lyricist: M. V. Zimmerman, 1878
Composer: William Ogden

Floating down the mis­ty ag­es

Hear the clear un­ceas­ing strain

Sung at first by shin­ing an­gels

Over Beth­le­hem’s moon­lit plain.

Glory in the high­est

glo­ry

Lo! glad news to earth we bring

Christ is born

a prince and Sav­ior

Peace

good will to men we sing.

Hear ye not the lit­tle child­ren

List His name who bless­ing gave?

Hear ye not the old con­fess­ing

All His migh­ty pow­er to save?

Jesus

Lord

Thou King eter­nal

Let us Thy sal­va­tion see;

Reign in us

Thou migh­ty Sav­ior

Hold us clos­er

Lord

to Thee.
