Lyrics

Glory in the high­est,
Lo! the migh­ty strain
Wakes the harps of an­gels,
Fills the world again.

Refrain

Glory in the high­est!
Hear the ec­ho still;
Glory to the Fa­ther,
Peace, on earth good will.

Shepherds lost in won­der,
Heard the mid­night song,
On the plains of Ju­dah;
From that shin­ing throng.

Refrain

Glory in the high­est,
O! the bliss­ful morn,
Spread abroad the tid­ings;
Christ, the Lord, is born.
