1 Behold, a lucid light appears
Which brightens all the eastern sky;
Hark, hark, what sounds salute our ears,
All glory give to God on high.
2 Good-will to men and peace on earth,
The heavenly choirs united cry
At the divine Redeemer’s birth,
And glory be to God on high.
3 Let mortals catch the sacred flame,
Till round the world the song shall fly,
Which sounds the great Redeemer’s name,
And glory gives to God on high.
