The Angels Song
"Glory to God," the angels sang
"And Peace to all the earth."
A song of joy, of brightest hope
Of love now come to birth
'Glory to God' is seldom heard
Upon our ravaged earth
The birth of peace concealed beneath
The ruin we have wraught
And where is the angels' song
That echoed 'round the skies?
The herald of the king of love
The son of God most high
When sorrow steals the crown from love
When pain has clouded joy
When justice dies with drowned out cries
Make hope the louder voice
So stir in us the angels' song
And echo in our lives
The story of the King of Love
The Son of God most high
That in our darkened streets may shine
The everlasting light
So all may see and truly believe
The love of God most high
Trust in God most high
Sing Glory to God most high
