Verse 1
Hark! The herald angels sing:
“Glory to the new born King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”
Bridge 1
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim:
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
Chorus
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new born King."
Verse 2
Christ, by highest heav’n adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the favoured one.
Bridge 2
Veiled in flesh the God-head see;
Hail th' Incarnate Deity,
Pleased as Man with men to dwell;
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Verse 3
Hail the heav’n born Prince of Peace,
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Bridge 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.
