Wonderful angels in garments of white,
Came to the shepherds one beautiful night,
Singing a Song of surpassing delight -
Praise to God on high.
Refrain
Glory, glory,
Oh, glory to God on high!
Glory, glory,
Yes, glory to God on high!
Oh, what a song was that song from the sky,
Never such glory did shepherds discry,
Never had heaven before been so nigh,
Praising God on high.
Birth of a Saviour the angels proclaimed,
"City of David" - and "Jesus" - were named -
Then was the word of peace sweetly acclaimed,
Praising God on high.
Never those shepherds forgot what they heard:
Strongly and deeply their hearts had been stirred;
Seeking for Jesus - they heeded the word -
Praising God on high.
