114. Glory to God in the Highest

1 Glory to God in the highest,
Sing, ye ransomed sing.
Glory to God in the highest,
Let the echoes ring;
Bury your sorrow and sadness,
Bury ev’rything;
Wake the song of victory and gladness.
O what a pleasant duty
To praise the Lord,
What happiness and beauty
Discovered in His word;
O ‘tis the word that frees us,
And when we die;
We shall reign with Jesus.

Refrain:
Glory to God in the highest,
Sing, ye ransomed sing.
Glory to God in the highest,
Let the echoes ring;
Bury your sorrow and sadness,
Bury ev’rything;
Wake the song of victory and gladness.

2 Glory to God in the highest,
Men and angels say.
Glory to God in the highest,
Sin is cast away;
Bury your doubts and misgiving,
Bury yesterday;
Take your ransomed place among the living.
O what a pleasant duty
To praise the Lord,
What happiness and beauty
Discovered in His word;
O ‘tis the word that frees us,
And when we die;
We shall reign with Jesus. [Refrain]
