Hymn
Glory to God on High
Glory to God on high!
Let heav'n and earth reply,
Praise ye His name!
Angels His love adore,
Who all our sorrows bore;
Saints sing forevermore,
Worthy the Lamb!
Join, all ye ransomed race,
Praise ye the Lord of grace,
Bless ye His name!
On Him we fix our choice,
In Him we all rejoice,
Shouting with heart and voice,
Worthy the Lamb!
Hark, how the choirs above,
Filled with the Savior's love,
Dwell on His name!
There, too, may we be found,
With light and glory crowned,
While all the heav'ns resound,
Worthy the Lamb!
Amen.
