Glory be to God on high, God whose glory fills the sky! Peace on earth to man forgiven, Man, the well-beloved of heaven! | Favored mortals, raise the song; Endless thanks to God belong; Hearts o’erflowing with His praise, Join the hymns your voices raise. | Mark the wonders of His hand; Power, no empire can withstand; Wisdom, angels’ glorious theme; Goodness, one eternal stream! | Gracious Being! from Thy throne Send Thy promised blessings down; Let Thy light, Thy truth, Thy peace, Bid our selfish passions cease. | |
