Now let us sing the an­gels’ song
That rang so sweet and clear,
When heav’n­ly light and mu­sic fell
On earth­ly eye and ear;
To Him we sing, our Sav­ior king,
Who al­ways deigns to hear.

Refrain

Glory to God, and on earth peace,
Glory to God, good-will to men.

He came to tell the Fa­ther’s love,
His good­ness, truth and grace:
To show the bright­ness of His smile,
The glo­ry of His face,
With His own light, so full and bright,
The shades of death to chase.

Refrain

He came to bring the wea­ry ones
True peace and per­fect rest;
To take away the guilt and sin,
Which dark­ened and dis­tressed,
That great and small might hear His call,
And all in Him be blessed.

Refrain

He came to bring a glo­ri­ous gift,
Good-will to men—and why?
Because He loved us, Je­sus came,
For us to live and die;
Then sweet and long, the an­gels’ song,
Again we raise on high.

Refrain
