The stillness of the night is pierced With Mary's cry of birth As Heaven's years of silence cease God's Word has come to earth What joyful news the angels bring Their anthem fills the sky O come and sing to Christ the King And praise our God on high The shepherds leave their flocks and fields In wonder to bow down Before the infant Lamb of God The heir to David's crown For in this frail Immanuel God enters space and time O come and sing to Christ the King And praise our God on high Glory to God Glory to God The groaning world is fraught with hope To glimpse the promised Son For in the advent of this child God's kingdom has begun And those who long to see the dawn Will walk into his light O come and sing to Christ the King And praise our God on high And those who long to see the dawn Will walk into his light O come and sing to Christ the King And praise our God on high Glory to God Glory to God Glory to God Glory to God And we sing Glory to God Glory to God Glory to God, O hallelujah Glory to God Glory to God Glory to God
