Carols of Hope ‎#84

84. Glory in the Highest

1. Hark! I hear ten thousand voices sing,
Glory be to God on high!
While the choirs of angels hail their King,
"Glory!" let the earth reply.

Chorus:
Glory in the highest, glory in the highest,
Sound his matchless praise from shore to shore;
Glory in the highest, glory in the highest,
Glory, glory evermore!

2. Now o'er all the world his banner waves,
Let the saints glad voices raise;
Hail the promised Christ who Israel saves,
Swell the notes of holy praise. [Chorus]

3. Sound the proclamation loud and grand,
Spread the tidings far and near,
Tell the joyful news to ev'ry land,
Let the waiting nations hear. [Chorus]

4. Haste, proclaim the year of jubilee,
Shout aloud the glad refrain,
"Lo, thy King returneth unto thee,
Christ o'er all the world shall reign." [Chorus]
