LyicsFrom 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.
Chorus
Hallelujah to the Lamb who has purchased our pardon,
We'll praise him again when we pass over Jordan!
Glad tiding 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!
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.
O Jesus! ride on, thy kingdom is glorious;
Over sin, death, and hell, thou'lt make us victorious!
Thy banner unfurl -- let the nations surrender,
And own thee their Saviour, their Lord and Defender!
