Voices of Praise ‎#47

47. Hark! what mean those holy voices

1 Hark! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding thro' the skies?
Lo, th' angelic host rejoices,
Heavenly Alleluias rise.

2 Listen to the wondrous story,
Which they chant in hymns of joy--
"Glory in the highest, glory!
Glory be to God most high!

3 "Peace on earth, good-will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found:
Souls redeemed and sins forgiven,
Loud our golden harps shall sound.

4 "Christ is born; the great Anointed!
Heaven and earth His praises sing!
O receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King!

5 "Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His Name to magnify,
Till in heaven ye sing before Him,
Glory be to God most high!"

Amen.
