Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Far, far away on Judea’s plains, Shepherds of old heard the joyous strains:
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest; Peace on earth, goodwill to men; Peace on earth, goodwill to men!
2. Sweet are these strains of redeeming love, Message of mercy from heav’n above:
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest; Peace on earth, goodwill to men; Peace on earth, goodwill to men!
3. Lord, with the angels we too would rejoice; Help us to sing with the heart and voice:
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest; Peace on earth, goodwill to men; Peace on earth, goodwill to men!
4. Hasten the time when, from ev’ry clime, Men shall unite in the strains sublime:
Glory to God, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest; Peace on earth, goodwill to men; Peace on earth, goodwill to men!
