::::''1.'' :Rolling downward, through the midnight, :Comes a glorious burst of heav’nly song; :’Tis a chorus full of sweetness— :And the singers are an angel throng. :Refrain: ::“Glory! glory in the highest! ::On the earth goodwill and peace to men!” ::Down the ages send the echo; ::Let the glad earth shout again! ::::''2.'' :Wondering shepherds see the glory, :Hear the word the shining ones declare; :At the manger fall in worship, :While the music fills the quivering air. :Refrain. ::::''3.'' :Christ the Savior, God’s Anointed, :Comes to earth our fearful debt to pay— :Man of sorrows, and rejected, :Lamb of God, that takes our sin away. :Refrain.
