1. Hark !what mean those [these] 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, goodwill from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Life proclaimed, and sin forgiven;
Loud our hymns of praise shall sound.
4 'Christ is born, the great Anointed,
Heaven and earth his praises sing!
0, receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.'
