A great and mighty Wonder, a full and holy cure:
The virgin bears the infant with virgin honour pure!
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
The word becomes incarnate and yet remains on high,
And cherubim sing anthems to shepherds from the sky
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory And peace on earth to men!"
While thus they sing your monarch, those bright angelic bands
Rejoice ye vales and mountains, ye oceans clap your hands
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory;
And peace on earth to men".
And idol forms shall perish, and error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield his sceptre, our Lord and God for aye....
Repeat the hymn again:
To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
Sadly, as I write about 'peace on earth to men' using the words of a favourite Greek carol, innocent Turkish people have been killed by crazy suicide bombers.... WHY ?
Remember this?
WHERE have all the flowers gone, long time passing...
WHEN will they ever learn? ......
WHEN will they ever learn?
