Sweetly sounding thro' the skies?
Lo, th' angelic host rejoices;
Heav'nly hallelujahs rise.
Listen to the wondrous story,
Which they chant in hymns of joy:
Glory in the highest, glory!
Glory be to God most high!
2 Peace on earth, good-will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven;
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heav'n and earth His praises sing!
O receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest and King.
3 Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His name and taste His joy;
Till in heav'n ye sing before Him,
Glory be to God most high!
Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth;
Spread the brightness of His glory
Till it cover all the earth.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas; Processionals and Recessionals Christmas Used With Tune: RUSSIAN VESPER
