- 2Sweet are these strains of redeeming love,Message of mercy from heaven above:Glory to God, glory to God,Glory to God in the highest;Peace on earth, good will to men;Peace on earth, good will to men.
- 3Lord, with the angels we too would rejoice;Help us to sing with the heart and voice:Glory to God, glory to God,Glory to God in the highest;Peace on earth, good will to men;Peace on earth, good will to men.
- 4Hasten the time when, from every clime,Men shall unite in the strains sublime:Glory to God, glory to God,Glory to God in the highest;Peace on earth, good will to men;Peace on earth, good will to men.
