Rolling downward, through the midnight,
Comes a glorious burst of heavnly song;
Tis a chorus full of sweetness
And the singers are an angel throng.
Refrain
Glory! glory in the highest!
On the earth goodwill and peace to men!
Down the ages send the echo;
Let the glad earth shout again!
Wondring shepherds see the glory,
Hear the word the shining ones declare;
At the manger fall in worship,
While the music fills the quivring air.
Refrain
Christ the Savior, Gods Anointed,
Comes to earth our fearful debt to pay
Man of sorrows, and rejected,
Lamb of God, that takes our sin away.
Refrain
