Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Verse 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 angelic host proclaim “Christ is born in Bethlehem”
Hark the herald angels sing “Glory to the new born King”

Verse 2:
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 with us in flesh to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark the herald angels sing “Glory to the new born King”

Verse 3:
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 sons of earth, born to give them second birth
Hark the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born King”
