Lyrics

A great and mighty wonder,
 A full and holy cure!
 The Virgin bears the Infant
 With virgin-honour pure:
 Repeat the hymn again:
 'To God on high be glory,
 and peace on earth to men.'
 The Word becomes incarnate,
 And yet remains on high;
 And cherubim sing anthems
 To shepherds from the sky
 Repeat the hymn again:
 'To God on high be glory,
 and peace on earth to men.'
 While thus they sing your Monarch,
 Those bright angelic bands,
 Rejoice, ye vales and mountains,
 Ye oceans, clap your hands
 Repeat the hymn again:
 'To God on high be glory,
 and peace on earth to men.'
 Since all he comes to ransom,
 By all be he adored,
 The Infant born in Bethl'em,
 The Saviour and the Lord
 Repeat the hymn again:
 'To God on high be glory,
 and peace on earth to men.'
 And idol forms shall perish,
 And error shall decay,
 And Christ shall wield His scepter,
 Our Lord and God for aye.
 Repeat the hymn again:
 'To God on high be glory,
 and peace on earth to men.'
