Lyics

From the regions of love, lo! and angel descended,

And told the strange news how the babe was attended;

Go, shepherds, and visit the wonderful stranger;

See yonder bright star! there's your Lord in a manger,

See yonder bright star! there's your Lord in a manger.

Hallelujah to the Lamb who has purchased our pardon, 

We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan,

We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan.



Glad tidings I bring unto you and each nation!

Glad tidings of joy--now behold your salvation;

Then suddenly multitudes raise their glad voices,

And shout hallelujahs, while heaven rejoices

And shout hallelujahs, while heaven rejoices!

Hallelujah to the Lamb who has purchased our pardon, 

We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan,

We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan.



Now glory to God in the highest be given,

All glory to God is re-echoed from heaven;

Around the whole earth let us tell the glad story,

And sing of his love, his salvation, and glory,

And sing of his love, his salvation, and glory.

Hallelujah to the Lamb who has purchased our pardon, 

We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan,

We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan.
