| Lyrics: | A great and mighty wonder.
A full and holy cure:
The Virgin bears the Infant
With virgin
honor purel
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to
men!"
The Word becomes incarnate
And yet remains on high,
And cherubim sing
anthems
To shepherds from the sky.
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be
glory
And peace on earth to men!"
While thus they sing your Monarch,
Those bright
angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains,
Ye oceans, clap your hands.
Repeat the
hymn again:
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
Since all He comes
to ransom.
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethl'em,
The Savior and the
Lord.
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to
menl"
And idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield
His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye.
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be
glory
And peace on earth to men!" |
