Valsa George Poet Lyric

Glory To God

‘Glory to God and peace on Earth’
The angels once at midnight sang

The blessed time of the year has come
The prince of peace on Earth is born
Let us hail the King of kings
Let us sing and blow our horn 

Christ is born in my heart today 
Bringing heavenly peace and joy
All around is a convivial air
And everyone, in a mood to enjoy

‘Glory to God and peace on Earth’
The angels once at midnight sang

Jesus left his palace high
To cheer the Earth and gloomy sky
Lo, the celestial king is here 
Let us partake of this joy

I behold His tender, lovely face!
Never a flower so sweetly graced
Never has been such peace serene
None on Earth, so widely praised

‘Glory to God and peace on Earth’
The angels once at midnight sang

Much gaiety, seen everywhere
The Earth with rising vigor thrills
Colorful stars brighten the streets
From every church, merry carol trills

Days of fond remembrance have come
Of all those whom we love and care
This is the time to spread some cheer 
Among all our friends from far and near

‘Glory to God and peace on Earth’
The angels once at midnight sang
With them joined the shepherd throng
From every nook, I hear its echoes ring!
