Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #160 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo, th'angelic host rejoices,
Heavenly hallelujahs rise.
2 Listen to the wondrous story,
Which they chant, in hymns of joy,
"Glory in the highest, glory!
Glory be to God most high!
3 Peace on earth, good will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven!
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
4 "Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth, His praises sing!
O receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
5 "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!"
6 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: Christmas Languages: English
