A great and mighty wonder.
\nA full and holy cure:
\nThe Virgin bears the Infant
\nWith virgin honor pure
\nRepeat the hymn again:
\n“To God on high be glory
\nAnd peace on earth to men!”<\/p>\n
The Word becomes incarnate
\nAnd yet remains on high,
\nAnd cherubim sing anthems
\nTo shepherds from the sky.
\nRepeat the hymn again:
\n“To God on high be glory
\nAnd peace on earth to men!”<\/p>\n
While thus they sing your Monarch,
\nThose bright angelic bands,
\nRejoice, ye vales and mountains,
\nYe oceans, clap your hands.
\nRepeat the hymn again:
\n“To God on high be glory
\nAnd peace on earth to men!”<\/p>\n
Since all He comes to ransom.
\nBy all be He adored,
\nThe Infant born in Bethl’em,
\nThe Savior and the Lord.
\nRepeat the hymn again:
\n“To God on high be glory
\nAnd peace on earth to men”<\/p>\n
And idol forms shall perish,
\nAnd error shall decay,
\nAnd Christ shall wield His scepter,
\nOur Lord and God for aye.
\nRepeat the hymn again:
\n“To God on high be glory
\nAnd peace on earth to men!”<\/p>\n
