The Almighty spake, and Gabriel sped, | |||
Upborne on wings of light, | |||
Jehovah's glory round him spread, | |||
And changed to day, the night. | |||
Swift down to earth the archangel flew, | |||
From God's eternal throne; | |||
His shining robe of rainbow hue, | |||
The star, moon, sun, outshone.}} | |||

Ten thousand thousand left the sky, | |||
To catch salvation's sound; | |||
One note of peace was heard on high, | |||
Glad tidings roll'd around. | |||
Shout, shout for joy; rejoice, O earth, | |||
All hail, All hail, this glorious morn, | |||
Rejoice! Rejoice in Jesus' birth, | |||
Today are nations born.}} | |||

From Zion's hill to worlds above | |||
Re-echo back the strain, | |||
And Golden harps, attuned to love, | |||
Thus swept Ephrathah's plain. | |||

Good will, peace, joy for men. | |||
Glad tidings shout to all abroad, | |||
So be it, Lord. Amen!}} | |||
