Tune:[Glory! glory! glory! Glory to God in the highest]
Composer:G. F. Root

166. Glory to God in the Highest

Glory! glory! glory!
Glory to God in the highest,
Hark! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! th’angelic host rejoices
Heavenly hallelujah’s rise!
Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God in the highest!
And on earth be peace, good-will toward men,
And on earth be peace, good-will toward men,
Hear them tell the wondrous story,
Hear them chant in hymns of joy,
“Glory in the highest, glory!
Glory be to God most high.”
Christ is born the great Anointed,
Heaven and earth his praises sing,
Oh, receive whom God appointed,
For your Prophet, Priest and King.
Amen.
