“212: Far, Far Away on Judea’s Plains,” Hymns of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, no. 212
Joyfully
1. Far, far away on Judea’s plains,
Shepherds of old heard the joyous strains:
[Chorus]
Glory to God, Glory to God,
Glory to God in the highest;
Peace on earth, goodwill to men;
Peace on earth, goodwill to men!
2. Sweet are these strains of redeeming love,
Message of mercy from heav’n above:
3. Lord, with the angels we too would rejoice;
Help us to sing with the heart and voice:
4. Hasten the time when, from ev’ry clime,
Men shall unite in the strains sublime:
Text and music: John Menzies Macfarlane, 1833–1892
