1 Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Angels sang that blessed day,
When the Lord of life and glory,
In a lowly manger lay;
Ringing thro’ the aisles of heaven,
Came that chant sublime—
Glory in the highest glory!
Glory to God on high.

Refrain:
Hallelujah! Glory to God,
Hallelujah! Glory to God,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory to God on high.

2 Still on earth, our happy voices,
May repeat the thrilling strain,
That the angels sang in chorus,
Over far Judea’s plain;
Fainting hearts look up with gladness,
Peace on earth today,
Glory in the highest glory!
Glory to God on high. [Refrain]

3 Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Richest gifts to thee we bring,
All we have and all we hope for,
As a Christmas offering;
Glory in the highest glory,
Peace, good will to men.
Glory in the highest glory!
Glory to God on high. [Refrain]
