Hark! What Mean Those Holy Voices
}
Hark! what mean those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! Th'angelic host rejoices;
Heavenly hallelujahs rise.

Hear them tell the wondrous story,
Hear them chant in hymns of joy;
"Glory in the highest, glory!
Glory be to God most high!

"Peace on earth, good will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven!
Loud our golden harps shall sound.

"Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth his praises sing!
Oh, receive whom God appointed,
For your Prophet, Priest and King!

"Haste, ye mortals, to adore him;
Learn his name, and taste his joy;
Till in heave ye sing before him
"Glory be to God most high!"

Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth;
Spread the brightness of His glory
Till it cover all the earth.
