[Verse 1]
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 'cause that's Joe's own hometown
No choice, gotta head that way now
Even though Mary's have a baby any day now

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 2]
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 firstborn son
Sing!

[Chorus]
(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
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 4]
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."

[Chorus]
(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
[Verse 5]
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"

[Chorus]
(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

[Verse 6]
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!

[Chorus]
(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)
