1. Hark! the herald angels sing
“Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th’ angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
With th’ angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
2. Christ, by highest heavens adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb:
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th’ incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with men to dwell;
Jesus, our Immanuel!
Pleased as man with men to dwell;
Jesus, our Immanuel!
3. Hail! the heaven born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris’n with healing in His wings:
Mild He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
