Upon a Hill in Bethlehem (Glory!)

Upon a hill in Bethlehem
The shepherds watched their sheep
And then an angel of the Lord
Did rouse them from their sleep
CHORUS:
(women) Glory! our God is highest
(men) Glory! our God is great!
The sheep went leaping, our savior is sleeping
and all will have peace tonight
«Fear not, you hear the words of men
Brought down from heaven above
This very day a Savior born
Is Christ the Lord of love.»
«How do you speak in shepherd tongue?»
The men now gave reply
«How do you sing our folksy song
and brighten up our sky?»
For this good news we’ll leave our flock
And venture from the hills
«O Glory, Glory to our God
Let heaven and earth be filled!»
