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 sone of earth,
Born
to give them second birth.
Hark!
the herald angels sing,
"Glory
to the newborn King!
