Glory Be To God On High Chords
from "The Soul Felt Its Worth"
​
​
C Em Dm
Glory be to God on high,
F G C
And peace on earth descend;
Em Dm
God comes down, He bows the sky,
F G F
And shows Himself our friend.
G F
God the invisible appears,
G C
God the blest, the great I Am,
Em Dm
Sojourns in this vale of tears,
F G C
And Jesus is His name.
C Em Dm
Him the angels all adored,
F G C
Their Maker and their King;
Em Dm
Tidings of their humbled Lord
F G F
They now to mortals bring.
G F
Emptied of His majesty,
G C
Of His dazzling glories shorn,
Em Dm
Being’s Source begins to be,
F G C
And God Himself is born.
​
C Em Dm
See the eternal Son of God,
F G C
A mortal Son of Man,
Em Dm
Dwelling in an earthly clod
F G F
Whom heaven cannot contain.
G F
Stand amazed, ye heavens, at this;
G C
See the Lord of earth and skies
Em Dm
Humbled to the dust He is,
F G C
And in a manger lies.
C Em Dm
We, the sons of men, rejoice,
F G C
The Prince of Peace proclaim,
Em Dm
With the angels lift up your voice,
F G F
And shout Immanuel’s name.
G F
Knees and hearts to Him we bow;
G C
Of our flesh, and of our bone,
Em Dm
Jesus is our Brother now,
F G C
And God is all our own.
