Don't Miss This

Glory on High (Don't Miss This)

Close your eyes.

Listen to the sounds of this night.

The choir sings,

The church bells ring,

“Glory on high!”

Close your eyes.

Listen to the songs tonight,

The songs of His birth,

The songs of His worth,

Glory on high!

I've been seeing,
But I've missed it all.

I've been looking,

But I haven't heard the song.

I've been racing to find

Just a little more time.

I forgot what I need

Is right in front of me.

So close your eyes.

Hear what's going on tonight!

Hear the angels sing,

The praises that they bring,

“Glory on high!

Glory on high!”

Oh, close your eyes.

Hear the music of this night,

The shepherds in their fright,

The newborn baby's cry.

Glory on high!

Glory on high!

Oh, I've been missing it all,

But it's been right here all along.

Do you hear that?

Do you hear that?

Do you hear the church choir singing

In four-part harmony?

Do you hear the great crescendo,

Hear them worshipping the King?

Oh, glory on high,

Glory on high,

Glory on high!

Oh, glory on high,

Glory on high,

Glory on high!

Glory on high,

Glory on high!

Close your eyes.

If it takes a forte piano

To help you see what you know, . . .

Glory on high,

Glory on high,

Glory on high!

Glory on high,

Glory on high,

Glory on high!

Glory on high,

Glory on high,

Close your eyes.

Don't miss this.
