Lyrics

Hallelujah! hal­le­lujah!
Angels sang that bless­èd 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.

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

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.
