Based on Luke 2:20, "The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told."

lyrics

We have heard the news from angels singing, "Glory!"
That today a Savior has been born to you
He is the Christ the Lord and here's how you will find him
Wrapped in cloths and in a manger lying

We have seen the glory of the One and Only
Who, from the Father, came full of grace and truth
To humbly take up all our sins and sorrows
The Lord has come sharing our humanity

To bind up the brokenhearted
To comfort those who mourn
To shatter the yoke of slavery
The oppressor's rod and shame

To be the shepherd of his people
To take away their scorn
To bring us into God's family
And forgive our sins for good

We have heard the news from angels singing, "Glory!"
That today a Savior has been born to you
He is the Christ the Lord and here's how you will find him
Wrapped in cloths and in a manger lying

We have seen the glory of the One and Only
Who, from the Father, came full of grace and truth
To humbly take up all our sins and sorrows
The Lord has come sharing our humanity

Everybody sing, "Glory!" (Glory!) Sing, "Glory!" (Glory!)
To our merciful and humble God,
Who saves!

To uphold justice and righteousness
To enable us to serve
The time of his favor
Is now being shown

To call to the captives, "Come out!"
And to those in darkness, "Be free!"
Death has been conquered
The guilty made clean
The blind will see
Salvation's here
A great light has dawned!
