Tune: MENDELSSOHN 7.7.7.7 D by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, 1809-1847 Verses: 3 Introduction: Last Line Key: F High: D Low: C |
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King;
peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all you 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 newborn King
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord:
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the God-head see:
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King
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.
Hark the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King
