Glory! Glory!

Virgin Mary,
yet unwed,
believed the word
the angel said.
Now with child,
her voice she raises,
showers heaven
with earthly praises:

Glory! Glory!
Hear the story!
Joy to God
our mighty Saviour
pouring out
his lavish favour!
Glory! Glory!
Hear the story!

Shepherds, watching
sheep by night,
amazed and startled
at the sight -
a choir of angels
singing praise
showering earth
with heavenly grace:

Glory! Glory!
Hear the story!
Joy to earth -
your mighty Saviour
born to give you
heaven’s favour!
Glory! Glory!
Hear the story!
