A Great And Mighty Wonder
Composer(s): St. Germanus; John M. Neale



A great and mighty wonder
A full and holy cure
The Virgin bears the Infant
With virgin honor purel
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!"

Since all He comes to ransom
By all be He adored
The Infant born in Bethl'em
The Savior and the Lord
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 scepter
Our Lord and God for aye
Repeat the hymn again
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men!"
