1 Spread the news from shore to shore,
Let it ring across the main,
Tell the nations, o'er and o'er,
Jesus Christ has come to reign.

Chorus:
Glory be to God in the highest,
Sing it o'er and o'er again;
Glory be to God in the highest,
Peace on earth, good will to men!

2 Wise men, by the guiding star,
To the Savior child are lead,
By good tidings from afar,
Shepherds find the manger-bed. [Chorus]

3 List! a multitud sing praise,
Heav'nly host the strains begin,
Glory rings in sweetest lays,
"Peace on earth, good will to men!"
