In a Manger Laid So Lowly

In a man­ger laid so low­ly

Came the Prince of Peace to earth;

While a choir of an­gels ho­ly

Sang to ce­le­brate His birth.

Glory in the high­est

Sang the glad an­gel­ic strain:

Glory in the high­est

Peace on earth

good will to men

Peace on earth

good will to men.

As the wise men from far Per­sia

Brought rich gifts to Jew­ry’s king

Grateful love

a rich­er trea­sure

Would we as our of­fer­ing bring.

Glory in the high­est

Let us join th’an­gel­ic strain;

Where Christ’s joy­ful king­dom cometh

Deserts blos­som as the rose;

And God’s gra­cious rain des­cend­eth

Where the cor­al is­land grows.

Glory in the high­est

Once more sing th’an­gel­ic strain:
