Hark, the an­gel choirs pro­claim
Joyfully the Sav­ior’s name;
At His birth their ar­mies cry:
Glory be to God on high!

Refrain

God the Son, made flesh to­day,
Takes the guilt of man away;
Pardoned sin­ners, shout for joy.

As the glo­ry shines around,
Fears the shep­herd throng con­found,
Till the an­gel’s cheer­ing voice
Bids their ti­mid hearts re­joice.

Refrain

Hasting with obe­di­ent mind,
Him in swath­ing bands they find;
Him, by whom the worlds were made
In a low­ly man­ger laid.

Refrain

Glory be to God above,
Fountain of eter­nal love,
To the Fa­ther and the Son,
And the Spi­rit, Three in one.
