Author: J. Cawood Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #190 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Hark! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! th'angelic host rejoices,
Heav'nly Hallelujahs rise.
Listen to the wondrous story
Which they chant in hymns of joy:
"Glory in the hightest, glory!
Glory be to God most high!"
2 "Peace on earth, good-will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found,
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven,
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
Christ is born, the great Anointed:
Heaven and earth His praises sing;
O receive whom God appointed
For your prophet, priest, and king.
3 "Hasten, mortals, to adore Him;
Learn His Name, and taste His joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before Him,
'Glory be to God most high!'"
Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth;
Spread the brightness of His glory
Till it cover all the earth. Topics: The Church Year Christmas; The Church Year Christmas Tune Title: [Hark! what mean those holy voices]
