Methodist-Hymns-134
1: GLORY be to God on high,
And peace on earth descend:
God comes down, He bows the sky,
And shows Himself our Friend:
God the invisible appears:
God, the blest, the great I AM,
Sojourns in this vale of tears,
And Jesus is His name.
2: Him the angels all adored,
Their Maker and their King;
Tidings of their humbled Lord
They now to mortals bring.
Emptied of his majesty,
Of His dazzling glories shorn,
Being’s source begins to be,
And God Himself is born!
3: See the eternal Son of God
A mortal Son of man;
Dwelling in an earthly clod,
Whom heaven cannot contain.
Stand amazed, ye heavens, at this:
See the Lord of earth and skies;
Humbled to the dust He is,
And in a manger lies.
4: We,the sons of men, now rejoice,
The Prince of peace proclaim;
With heaven’s host lift up our voice,
And shout Immanuel’s name:
Knees and hearts to Him we bow;
Of our flesh and of our bone,
Jesus is our brother now,
And God is all our own.
