Shout Aloud the Heavenly Chorus

Verse 1

Let the angel hosts on high and the sons of men In a happy song of praise combine; God’s salvation now appears, It shall crown the coming years With the comfort of a hope all divine.

Chorus

Then glory in the highest let us sing! Should aloud the heav’nly chorus; Glory be to God on high, Let the earth to heav’n reply, As the Savior comes with light and with love.

Verse 2

O how glorious is the news! it can ne’er grow old; Let us tell it o’er and o’er again; Let us trumpet notes employ, Wake the earth to peace and joy, Christ the Lord has come to dwell among men.

Verse 3

What a gift to us is Christ! what a treasure vast! He is more than all the world beside; We may see His glory here, But ’twill more and more appear, While eternal years in Him we abide.
