Over Judah’s starry plain,
Comes the angels’ sweet refrain:
Peace on earth, good will to men,
Glory in the highest.
Refrain
Glory, glory, we will sing,
To the little children’s king;
Hear our happy voices ring:
Glory in the highest.
Little children though we be,
Christ was born for such as we,
And some day His face we’ll see,
Glory in the highest!
Refrain
Jesus loves us, this we know,
He Himself has told us so,
And we’ll praise Him here below,
Glory in the highest!
