Sheet music
- 1Do you know the song that the angels sangOn that night in the long ago?When the heav’ns above with their music rang,Till it echoed in the earth below?All glory in the highest,Peace on earth, goodwill to men;Glory in the highest,Peace, goodwill to men;Glory in the highest,Glory in the highest,Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
- 2Do you know the song that the shepherds heardAs they watched o’er their flocks by night?When the skies bent down, and their hearts were stirredBy the voices of the angels bright?All glory in the highest,Peace on earth, goodwill to men;Glory in the highest,Peace, goodwill to men;Glory in the highest,Glory in the highest,Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
- 3Do you know the story that the wise men heardAs they journeyed from the East afar?O’er a pathway plain, for there nightly burnedIn their sight a glorious guiding star?All glory in the highest,Peace on earth, goodwill to men;Glory in the highest,Peace, goodwill to men;Glory in the highest,Glory in the highest,Peace on earth, goodwill to men.
