1. Hark! glad hallelujahs swelling,
How the heav'nly arches ring;
Angels are to mortals telling
Of the birth of Christ our King.
Glory in the highest, glory
Be unto our God, they sing.

2. Glory, love, and adoration
For the gift of His dear Son;
Oh, this wonderful salvation,
God and man are joined in one.
Glory in the highest, glory
For the wonders God hath done.

3. Earth repent the blessed story
Of the Lamb of Calvary:
Glory in the highest, glory
For His mighty victory.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Now and thro' eternity.
