Hark! the herald angels sing, |
|
Glory to the newborn King, |
|
Peace on earth, and mercy mild, |
|
God and sinners reconcile. |
|
Joyful, all ye nations, rise, |
|
Join the triumph of the skies; |
|
With the angelic host proclaim, |
|
'Christ is born in Bethlehem' |
|
Hark! the herald angels sing, |
|
Glory to the newborn King. |
|
Christ, by highest heaven adored, |
|
Christ, the everlasting Lord, |
|
Late in time behold him come, |
|
Offspring of a virgin's womb. |
|
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see; |
|
Hail, the incarnate deity, |
|
Pleased as Man with to dwell, |
|
Jesus, our Emmanuel! |
|
Hark! the herald angels sing, |
|
Glory to the newborn King. |
|
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace! |
|
Hail the Sun of righteousness! |
|
Light and life to all he brings, |
|
Risen with healing in his wings. |
|
Mild he lays his glory by, |
|
Born that man no more may die, |
|
Born to raise the suns of earth, |
|
Born to give them second birth. |
|
Hark! the herald angels sing, |
|
Glory to the newborn King. |
