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 triumph 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 men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel!
Hail the heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Sun 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!"
