Christ My Song - 1929
Glory to God on high!
(Thomas Kelly/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)
Glory to God on high!
"Glory to God in the highest." (Luke 2,14)
1. Glory to God on high!
Peace upon earth, and joy!
Good will to man!
Ye who the blessing prove,
join with the hosts above!
Sing ye a Saviour's love,
too vast to scan. PDF - Midi
2. Mercy and truth unite,
this is a joyful sight!
all sights above.
Jesus the curse sustains;
bitter the cup he drains;
nothing for us remains,
nothing but love!
3. Love, that no tongue can teach;
love, that no thought can reach;
no love like his:
heaven is its blessèd source;
death could not stop its course;
nothing can stay its force;
matchless it is.
4. Join, then, this love to sing;
join to exalt our King,
sinners forgiv'n!
To the great One in three,
honour and majesty
now and for ever be,
here and in heaven.
Thomas Kelly, Hymns on various passages of Scripture, ca. 1853, Hymn 246.
