A great and mighty wonder, a full and holy cure:
The virgin bears the Infant with virgin honor pure!
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,
The shepherds hear the anthem as glory fills the sky:
Repeat the hymn again: “To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!”
The angels sing the story: rejoice, O distant lands!
You valleys, forests, mountains, and oceans, clap your hands!
Repeat the hymn again: “To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!”
He comes to save all nations: let all now hear His word!
Approach and bring Him worship, the Saviour and the Lord:
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 men!”
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!”
