FAR, FAR AWAY ON JUDEA'S PLAINS
   (John Menzies Macfarlane, 1869)


   Far, far away on Judea's plains,
   Shepherds of old
   heard the joyous strains:
   Glory to God, Glory to God,
   Glory to God in the highest:
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men;
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men!

   Sweet are these strains
   of redeeming love,
   Message of mercy from heaven above:
   Glory to God, Glory to God,
   Glory to God in the highest:
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men;
   Peace on earth,

   Lord, with the angels
   we too would rejoice,
   Help us to sing with
   the heart and voice:
   Glory to God, Glory to God,
   Glory to God in the highest:
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men;
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men!

   Hasten the time when,
   from every clime,
   Men shall unite
   in the strains sublime:
   Glory to God, Glory to God,
   Glory to God in the highest:
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men;
   Peace on earth,
   good-will to men!
