Now Let Us Sing the Angels’ Song

Now let us sing the an­gels’ song

That rang so sweet and clear

When heav’n­ly light and mu­sic fell

On earth­ly eye and ear;

To Him we sing

our Sav­ior king

Who al­ways deigns to hear.

Glory to God

and on earth peace

Glory to God

good-will to men.

He came to tell the Fa­ther’s love

His good­ness

truth and grace:

To show the bright­ness of His smile

The glo­ry of His face

With His own light

so full and bright

The shades of death to chase.

He came to bring the wea­ry ones

True peace and per­fect rest;

To take away the guilt and sin

Which dark­ened and dis­tressed

That great and small might hear His call

And all in Him be blessed.

He came to bring a glo­ri­ous gift

Good-will to men—and why?

Because He loved us

Je­sus came

For us to live and die;

Then sweet and long

the an­gels’ song

Again we raise on high.
