Glory to God (Prentice)

lyricist: Neva Prentice, 1888
Composer: Marlo Bartlett

Judah’s mount­ains heard the ec­ho

Of the an­gel chor­us sing

As they float­ed

down­ward float­ed

Earthward on their shin­ing wings.

Glory to God in the high­est

The val­leys re-ec­ho the strain;

Glory to God in the high­est

Peace on earth

good will to men.

Judah’s riv­ers lent their mur­mur

To the an­gels’ song of love;

As they float­ed

down­ward float­ed

Like a ho­ly sac­red dove.

Judah’s shep­herds saw the glo­ry

Heard the voic­es sing­ing sweet

Heard the glad an­gel­ic sto­ry

Falling pros­trate at their feet.
