-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!}}
