Rolling Downward

Sung by the Copper Family on the Coppers at Christmas CD.

Rolling downwards through the midnight
Comes a glorious burst of heavenly song,
'tis a chorus full of sweetness
And the singers are an Angel throng.

Chorus:
Glory, glory in the Highest
On the earth goodwill and peace to men
Down the ages send the echo
Let the glad earth shout again.

Wandering shepherds see the Glory
Hear the words the shining ones declare,
At the manger fall in worship
While the music fills the quivering air.

Chorus

Christ the Saviour, God’s anointed
Comes on earth our fearful debts to pay,
Child of Mary, man of sorrows,
Lamb of God who takes our sins away.
