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.

He comes! He comes! The Savior God.
Good will, peace, joy for men.
Glad tidings shout to all abroad,
So be it, Lord. Amen!
