Hark! The herald angels sing |
|
"Glory to the newborn king |
|
Peace on earth and mercy mild |
|
God and sinners reconciled" |
|
Joyful, all ye nations, rise |
|
Join the triumph of the skies |
|
With angelic hosts proclaim |
|
"Christ is born in Bethlehem" |
|
|
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 godhead see |
|
Hail the incarnate deity! |
|
Pleased with man with men to dwell |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
Come, desire of nations come! |
|
Fix in us thy humble home |
|
Rise, the woman's conquering seed |
|
Bruise in us the serpent's head |
|
Adam's likeness now efface |
|
Stamp thine image in its place |
|
|
