Glory to God in the Highest

Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest!
Shall be our song today;
Another year’s rich mercies prove
His ceaseless care and boundless love;
So let our loudest voices raise
Our glad and grateful song of praise.

Refrain

Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God in the highest!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high!
Glory, glory, glory, glory,
Glory be to God on high!

Glory to God in the highest!
Glory to God! Glory to God!
Glory to God in the highest!
Shall be our song today;
O, may we, an unbroken band,
Around the throne of Jesus stand,
And there with angels and the throng
Of His redeemed ones, join the song.

Refrain

This is a New Year hymn by Fanny Crosby (Frances Jane Crosby, 1820–1915). It was published in several late-19th-century collections such as “The Royal Diadem” (1876) and “Gospel Hymns No. 3”. The text and refrain match known Crosby works; no other major author is associated with these lyrics.
