| | | LIFT high the song of praise | |
| For him whose holy pen | |
| Gave down the hymns of other days | |
| To glad the sons of men. | |
| |
| Glory to God on high, | 5 |
| And peace upon the earth, | |
| Good-will to men, be now proclaimed, | |
| As at the Saviour’s birth. | |
| |
| The Lord to magnify, | |
| Be lifted every voice, | 10 |
| And in our God and Saviour | |
| Let every soul rejoice. | |
| |
| With benedictions high | |
| Let Israel’s God be praised; | |
| Who hath salvation’s mighty horn | 15 |
| Up for His people raised. | |
| |
| And when around our path | |
| The call of death is heard, | |
| Lord, let thou us depart in peace, | |
| According to Thy word. | 20 | | | |
