‹ All carols / Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains
Far, Far Away on Judea's Plains
1
Far, far away on Judea’s plains,
Shepherds of old heard the joyous strains:
2
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
3
Sweet are these strains of redeeming love,
Message of mercy from Heaven above: [Refrain]
4
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
5
Lord, with the angels we too would rejoice;
Help us to sing with the heart and voice: [Refrain]
6
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
7
Hasten the time when, from every clime,
Men shall unite in the strains sublime: [Refrain]
8
Glory to God, glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, good will to men;
Peace on earth, good will to men.
