Representative Text

1 Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God, glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest!
Shall be our song to-day;
Another year's rich mercies prove
His ceaseless care and boundless love;
So let our loudest voices raise
Our anniversary song of praise.

Refrain:
Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God in the highest!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high!

2 Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God, glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest!
Shall be our song to-day;
The song that woke the glorious morn
When David's greater Son was born;
Sung by an heavenly host, and we
Would join th'angelic company. [Refrain]
