Angels chant the heav’nly song, "Peace on earth, good-will"; Hear the echo loud and long On the midnight still; "Glory, glory," hear them say— Christ the Lord is born today, "Glory be to God in the highest, glory! Peace on earth, good-will to men." Refrain Unto us is born a Savior, Unto us is born a King; "Peace on earth," O chant the chorus, Let the world with gladness sing. 2. Unto us is born a King, Christ the Prince of peace; Other kingdoms wane and fall, His shall never cease; For He rules in righteousness, Rules in love our lives to bless, His shall be the pow’r that shall fill creation, Praise Him, for He reigns for aye. [Refrain] 3. Lift a song of praise today, At this holy time, When to Bethl’em far away Came the Guest divine; When His star in matchless light Gemmed the sky that wondrous night, "Glory in the highest," oh, bow before Him, Christ the Babe of Bethlehem.
