Hark! the Herald angels (77)
1. Hark! 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 the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark ! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new-born King.
2. 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 Emmanuel.
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.
