Handel: Messiah, HWV 56 / Pt. 1 - 15. "Glory to God in the highest"

歌詞

Augustus Ceasar, boss of the Romans Wanted to know how his empire's goin' So Mary and Joseph hit the road, had to go down Bethlehem 'cos that's Joe's own home town No choice, gotta head that way now Even though Mary's have a baby any day now (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right Now, Joseph, he was in a line of David That's family, it means they're related When they finally get into Bethlehem Well, that inn's so full, there's no room for them They're out on the street and the time has come For the birth of Mary's first born son Sing! (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right So there in the dust, and miles from home The Son of God Most High is born Mary wraps the Baby in bits of cloth And lies Him in a manger (that's an animal trough) A dusty, dirty, lonely birth For Jesus Lord of Heaven and Earth (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right The shepherds out in the fields nearby See the glory of the Lord shine in the sky And they're filled with terror, but the angels say: "Good news! Great Joy! For born today In the town of David, Christ the Saviour You'll find the Baby lying in a manger." (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right Right then the shepherds see the sky explode Angels singing in a heavenly host "Glory to God, and peace to Man When God's good favour rests on them" The angels leave and the shepherds agree "Let's go to Bethlehem and see" (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right Well, the shepherds saw Jesus and they spread the word Amazing everyone who heard Mary treasured all the wonderous things A virgin's child, the King of Kings God's promised Son is the hope of Men Born that day in Bethlehem Sing! (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right now (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right, that's right (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right now (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right now (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right now (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right now (Glory to God in the highest) That's right, that's right now (In the highest be glory to God) That's right, that's right (In the highest be glory to God)
