Quickly on to Bethlehem

1. Quickly on to Bethlehem the shepherds came,
Playing gaily on their lutes to bless His name.
Glory to God on Highest,
Glory to God on Highest,
And on earth, peace to men.

2. Giving their respects in all humility,
To the Infant Jesus from hearts lovingly,
Glory to God on Highest,
Glory to God on Highest,
And on earth, peace to men.
