English text
- 1.
- Rolling downward, through the midnight,
- Comes a glorious burst of heav’nly 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!
- 2.
- Wondering shepherds see the glory,
- Hear the word the shining ones declare;
- At the manger fall in worship,
- While the music fills the quivering air.
- Refrain.
- 3.
- Christ the Savior, God’s Anointed,
- Comes to earth our fearful debt to pay—
- Man of sorrows, and rejected,
- Lamb of God, that takes our sin away.
- Refrain.
