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!

Wond-ring shepherds see the glory,
Hear the word the shining ones declare;
At the manger fall in worship,
While the music fills the quiv-ring air.

Refrain

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.
