Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King

peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconcile.

Joyful all ye nations rise

join the triumph of the skies;

with the angelic host proclaim

'Christ is born in Bethlehem'

Hark! the herald angels sing

Glory to the newborn King.



Christ by highest heaven adored

Christ the everlasting Lord

late in time behold him come,

offspring of a virgin's womb.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

hail, the incarnate deity,

pleased as Man with to dwell,

Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing,

Glory to the newborn King.



Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace!

Hail the Sun 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 suns of earth,

born to give them second birth.

Hark! the herald angels sing,

Glory to the newborn King.
