Couplet 1

Glory be to God on high
And peace on Earth descend
Now God comes down
He bows the sky
And shows Himself our friend
God the invisible appears
God the blest the Great I Am
Sojourns in this vale of tears
And Jesus is His name

Couplet 2

Him by the angels all adored
Their maker and their king
Tidings of their humbled Lord
They now to mortals bring
Emptied of His majesty
Of His dazzling glories shorn
Being’s Source begins to be
And God Himself is born

Couplet 3

See the eternal Son of God
A mortal Son of Man
Now dwelling in an earthly clod
Whom Heaven cannot contain
Stand amazed ye heavens at this
See the Lord of Earth and skies
Humbled to the dust He is
And in a manger lies

Couplet 4

We the sons of men rejoice
The Prince of Peace proclaim
With the angels lift up your voice
And shout Immanuel’s name
Knees and hearts to Him we bow
Of our flesh and of our bone
Jesus is our brother now
And God is all our own
