LyicsHARK! what mean those heavenly voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?
Lo! the angelic host rejoices:
Heavenly Hallelujahs rise.
Hark! the heralds of salvation!
Joyful news the angels bring;
God, himself in flesh hath entered,
Jesus is the new-born King!
Hear him tell the wondrous story,
Hear them chant in hymns of joy,
"Glory in the highest-glory!
Glory be to God most high!
Peace on earth-good will from heaven,
Reaching far as man is found,
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven,"
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
Christ is born, the great anointed;
Heaven and earth his praises sing!
Oh receive whom God appointed,
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
Haste, ye mortals, to adore him;
Learn his name and taste his joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before him,
Glory be to God most high!
