LyicsHark! 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 triumphs of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
See, 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.
Vailed in flesh the Godhead see!
Hail, th' incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel!
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.
Let us then with angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled!"
