Music: J. Lincoln Hall (🔊 pdf nwc).
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Angels sang that blessèd day,
When the Lord of life and glory,
In a lowly manger lay;
Ringing thro’ the aisles of Heaven,
Came that chant sublime—
Glory in the highest glory!
Glory to God on high.
Refrain
Hallelujah! Glory to God,
Hallelujah! Glory to God,
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Glory to God on high.
Still on earth, our happy voices,
May repeat the thrilling strain,
That the angels sang in chorus,
Over far Judea’s plain;
Fainting hearts look up with gladness,
Peace on earth today,
Glory in the highest glory!
Glory to God on high.
Refrain
Hallelujah! hallelujah!
Richest gifts to Thee we bring,
All we have and all we hope for,
As a Christmas offering;
Glory in the highest glory,
Peace, good will to men.
Glory in the highest glory!
Glory to God on high.
Refrain
