IMMEDIATE Download the Christmas SINGLE “Glory Be To God On High” from A Beautiful Liturgy in an MP3 file.
Text by Charles Wesley
Glory be to God on high and peace on earth descending;
God came down: he bows the sky: and shows himself our friend!
God, invisible appears, God the blest, the great I AM
Sojourns in this vale of tears, and Jesus is his name.
Him the angels all adored their Maker and their King:
Tidings of their humbled Lord they now to mortals bring.
Emptied of his majesty, Of his dazzling glory shorn,
Being’s source begins to be and God himself is born!
See eternal Son of God A mortal Son of man,
Dwelling in an earthly clod whom heaven can’t contain!
Stand amazed ye heavens at this! See the Lord of earth and skies!
Humbled to the dust he is, and in a manger lies!
We the sons of men rejoice, The Prince of Peace proclaim,
With heaven’s host lift up our voice, and shout Immanuel’s name;
Knees and hearts to him we bow; Of our flesh, and of our bone
Jesus is our brother now, and God is all our own!
