| Lyrics: | 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! |
