Rolling downward,
through the midnight,
Comes a glorious
burst of heav’nly song;
’Tis a chorus full of sweetness—
And the singers are an angel throng.
“Glory! glory in the highest!
On the earth goodwill
and peace to men!”
Down the ages send the echo;
Let the glad earth shout again!
Wond’ring shepherds see the glory,
Hear the word the
shining ones declare;
At the manger fall in worship,
While the music fills the quiv’ring air.
“Glory! glory in the highest!
On the earth goodwill
and peace to men!”
Down the ages send the echo;
Let the glad earth shout again!
Christ the Savior, God’s Anointed,
Comes to earth our
fearful debt to pay—
Man of sorrows, and rejected,
Lamb of God, that takes
our sin away.
“Glory! glory in the highest!
On the earth goodwill
and peace to men!”
Down the ages send the echo;
Let the glad earth shout again!
