(Refrain) Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new born King!
1. Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new born 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!
2. Christ, by highest heav'n adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veiled in flesh the God-head see;
Hail th' Incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
3. 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.
Risen with healing in His wings.
Light and life to all He brings
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace.
