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 the 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 a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the God-head see, hail the incarnate deity,
Please as man with man 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 sons of earth, born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing, glory to the new-born king
