Hark the herald angels sing

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 th' angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! the herald angels sing
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 th' Incarnate Deity

Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
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, Lord efface
Stamp Thy image in its place

Second Adam, from above
Reinstate us in thy love
Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail, the Son of Righteousness!

Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n 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
