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"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
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 as man with man to dwell
Jesus our Immanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
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
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
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Come, Desire of nations, come!
Fix in us Thy humble home
Rise the woman's conquering Seed
Bruise in us the serpent's head
Now display Thy saving power
Ruined nature now restore
Now in mystic union join
Thine to ours and ours to Thine
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Adam's likeness, Lord, efface
Stamp Thine image in its place
Second Adam from above
Reinstate us in Thy love
Let us Thee, though lost, regain
Thee, the Life, the inner man
O, to all Thyself impart
Formed in each believing heart
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
