First light, dawn of joy
Mercy pierced the night Angels sing on high
Glory, a fracture in the dark
A universe undone, A genesis begun

Glory, magnificent beginning
Of peace, of light
Birth of everything, birth of hope and life
Angels singing glory, God with us tonight

Promised, crest of time
Redemption come to breathe, To be humanity
Holy, and touchable divine
Hope of all the world, His majesty unfurled

Glory, magnificent beginning
Of peace, of light
Birth of everything, birth of hope and life
Angels singing glory God with us tonight

Glory, brilliant recreation
With peace, with light
Birth of everything, birth of hope and life
Angels singing glory, glory, glory
God with us tonight
