14135. Song Of The Ages

1 Floating downward through the midnight,
Bursts a glorious tide of song;
Angel voices tuned to sweetness
Roll the mighty wave along.

Refrain:
"Glory, glory in the highest!
Peace on earth, good-will to men";
Down the ages roll the tidings,
Mortals shout a loud "Amen."

2 Shepherds watchful guard are keeping,
Over their flocks this starlit night,
Wondering at the breaking glory,
And the angel song so bright. [Refrain]

3 Sweetly led to Bethlehem’s manger,
Viewing there the newborn child,
Light of light! and hope of ages!
God and man, now reconciled. [Refrain]
