Sung to the following words:

Verse 1. Hark; what means these holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! the angelic host rejoices,
Heavenly hallelujahs rise.
Listen to the wondrous story,
Which they chant in hymns of joy!
Glory in the highest glory,
Glory be to God Most High.
Verse 2. Peace on earth, goodwill from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found-
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven;-
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth His praises sing;
Glad receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest and King.

Verse 3. Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His name and taste His joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before Him,
Glory be to God on high!
Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth,
Spread the brightness of His glory,
Till it covers all the earth.
