Rolling Downward, Through The Midnight

Rolling downward, through the midnight,

Comes a glorious burst of heav'nly song;

'Tis a chorus full of sweetness-

And the singers are an angel throng.

Refrain

"Glory! glory in the highest!

On the earth goodwill and peace to men!"

Down the ages send the echo;

Let the glad earth shout again!

Wondering shepherds see the glory,

Hear the word the shining ones declare;

At the manger fall in worship,

While the music fills the quivering air.

Refrain

Christ the Savior, God's Anointed,

Comes to earth our fearful debt to pay-

Man of sorrows, and rejected,

Lamb of God, that takes our sin away.
