2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee,

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;

Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,

Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see;

Only thou art holy! there is none beside thee,

Perfect in power, in love, and purity. 4 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;

2 The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply,

And greet from all their holy heights
The Dayspring from on high:
O'er the blue depths of Galilee

There comes a holier calm;
And Sharon waves in solemn praise
Her silent groves of palm.

3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain
The realm of ether fills;
How sweeps the song of solemn joy
O'er Judah's sacred hills!
"Glory to God!" the sounding skies
Loud with their anthems ring:
"Peace on the earth; good will to men,
From heaven's eternal King."

4 Light on thy hills, Jerusalem!
The Saviour now is born!
More bright on Bethlehem's joyous plains
Breaks the first Christmas morn;
And brighter on Moriah's brow,

Crowned with her temple spires, Which first proclaim the new-born light, Clothed with its orient fires.

5 This day shall christian tongues be mute, And christian hearts be cold?

O catch the anthem that from heaven
O'er Judah's mountains rolled!
When nightly burst from seraph-harps
The high and solemn lay,-
"Glory to God; on earth be peace;
Salvation comes to-day."
