[Verse 1] Caesar called the world to number; Joseph traveled to his town. Mary bore her firstborn Son Where no guest room could be found. Cloth around Him, manger beneath Him, Bethlehem under midnight sky; Fields held shepherds through the darkness When the glory gathered nigh. [Angelic Chorus] Glory in the highest, Peace on earth, goodwill to men. Unto you is born a Saviour In the city of David. Glory in the highest, Heaven's praise through night unfurled; A child lies wrapped within a manger, Christ the Lord has entered the world. [Verse 2] Shepherds ran and found the sign, Then spread the saying through the street. Mary kept the words and pondered; Heaven met earth where cattle eat. Simeon took Him in the temple, Saw salvation in his hands. Anna spoke to all who waited For redemption in the land. [Verse 3] Wise men followed from the east, Brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Herod heard and sharpened murder; A dream warned Joseph to depart. Egypt sheltered the young child Till the tyrant's breath was done. Nazareth received the family; Prophecy surrounded the Son. [Final Chorus] Glory in the highest, Not in palace, sword, or pride. Heaven's King lay small and guarded At a faithful mother's side.
