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."
Hark! the herald
angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Christ, by highest
heav'n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time
behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil'd in flesh,
the Godhead see
Hail, th'incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man,
with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn
King!
Hail! the
heav'n-born Prince of peace!
Hail! the Son 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 son of earth,
Born to give them second
birth.
Hark! the herald
angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
