To God On High All Glory Be Lyrics

1. The shepherds saw in Eastern sky,
Star of promise shining bright,
Ever gleaming, gleaming ever,
With its bright effulgent light.

[Chorus:]
Blessed Saviour, Son of Mary,
In a stable He was born,
Holy Angels watching o'er Him,
On that natal Christmas morn.

2. In David's city, ere the dawn,
In a manger, Christ was born,
Holy Angels watching o'er Him,
On that natal Christmas morn. [Chorus]

3. Of noble, royal lineage
House of David, Prince and King,
Came our Saviour, infant Jesus,
And His praises we will sing. [Chorus]

4. "To God on high all glory be,"
Thus the joyous paean ran;
"Ever hail our Saviour's advent --
Peace on earth, good will to man." [Chorus]
