O for a glance of heavenly love,

Our hearts and songs to raise;

Sweetly to bear our souls above,

And mingle with their lays.

With joy the chorus we’ll repeat,—

“Glory to God on high!

Good-will and peace are now complete,—

Jesus was born to die.”

Hail, Prince of Peace, for ever hail!

Redeemer, Brother, Friend;

Though earth and time, and life, should fail,

Thy praise shall never end.
