1. Infant King in a stable, God’s nature revealed,
    Almighty Creator stoops lowly as man,
    How great is this mystery through ages concealed,
    Great Jehovah discloses to us now His plan.

             CHORUS

   Glory, glory in the highest!
   Angels joyously sing,
   Christ glorious is manifest,
   Earth rings, “Amen.”

2. Condescension so sacred to humans made known,
    To shepherds confided, Creator’s great birth,
    A manger as emblem these shepherds were shown,
    Precious Saviour from Heaven – glad tidings to earth!

3. Ancient sages foretold of Emmanuel’s birth,
    They show not a palace where babe should be born,
    A star in the heavens to village on earth
    Guided wise men on journey, unto that fair morn.

4. Judah’s Lion doth triumph through all ages past,
    He conquered all forces of demons, dark shore,
    Redeemer made Satan a vagrant outcast,
    Granting life more abundant to us evermore.

5. Every nation Thy praises for ever acclaim,
    Salvation with glory eternal our gain,
    What music! What splendour! Redemption proclaim,
    Zion’s first-fruit through ages eternal shall reign.
