Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #98 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy Lyrics: 1 High let us swell our tuneful notes,
And join th' angelick throng;
For angels no such love have known
T'awake a cheerful song.
2 Good will to guilty men is shewn,
And peace on earth is giv'n;
For, lo! th' incarnate Saviour comes,
With messeges from heav'n,
3 Justice and grace, with sweet accord,
His rising beams adorn:
Let heav'n and earth in concert join,
Now such a Child is born.
4 Glory to God, in highest strains,
In highest worlds be paid!
His glory by our lips proclaim'd,
And by our lives display'd.
5 When shall we reach those blissful realms,
Where Christ exalted reigns,
And learn of the celestial choir
Their own immortal strains?
