"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" lyrics

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."
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born King!

Christ, by highest heaven adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of the favored one
Veiled 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 new-born King!

Hail! the heaven-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 new-born King!"
