Glory to God on High

Music by Lowell Mason, words by Thomas Kelly


"Glory to God on high!
Peace upon earth and joy,
Goodwill to man."
We who God's blessing prove,
His name all names above,
Sing now, the Savior's love,
Too vast to scan.

Mercy and truth unite,
Oh, it's a wondrous sight--
All sights above!
Jesus the curse sustains!
Guilt's bitter cup He drains!
Nothing for us remains,
Nothing but love.

Love that no tongue can teach,
Love that no thought can reach:
No love like His.
God is its blessed source,
Death cannot stop its course,
Nothing can stay its force;
Matchless it is.

Blessed in this love we sing;
To God our praises bring;
All sins forgiven.
Jesus, our Lord, receive
Honor and majesty,
Now and eternally,
Here and in heaven!
