Lyrics

Hear the angels gladly singing,
Christ the Sav­ior now is born;
Shout the tidings, till all nations
Heed with joy this natal morn.

Refrain

Glory, glo­ry in the highest
Hear the angels sing again,
Glory, glo­ry in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men.

Loud pro­claim the wondrous message
Of a Sav­ior’s lowly birth,
How He rested in the manger,
He, the Son of God on earth.

Refrain

Lift your heads, ye faint and weary,
See your Lord, Immanuel, King,
Lend your voices to the chorus,
Let the shout triumphant ring.

Refrain

Peace on earth, what glo­ri­ous tidings,
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Let us haste to crown Immanuel
With a royal diadem.
