The song that rang o’er all Ju­dea’s plains
On that first glad Christ­mas morn,
Still is ring­ing, and we join the glad re­frain,
Christ the Lord to­day is born.

Refrain

Glory in the high­est,
Hear them sing­ing, glad­ness bring­ing,
Glory in the high­est,
Christ the Lord this day is born.

The great Mes­si­ah pro­phets had fore­told
Slept with­in a low­ly stall;
Came to earth the me­di­at­or for our sin,
To re­deem us from our fall.

Refrain

The song be­gun by an­gel hosts above,
We, unit­ed, join to sing;
Let ex­ult­ant hal­le­lu­jahs now arise
To our Sav­ior, Lord, and king.
