Hark, the herald angels sing,

Glory to the new-born King,

Peace on earth, and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconcil’d!

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!

Christ, by highest heaven ador’d,

Christ the everlasting Lord,

Late in time behold him come,

Offspring of a Virgin’s womb;

Veil’d in flesh the Godhead He,—

Hail the Incarnate Deity!

Pleased as Man with men to appear,

Jesus our Immanuel here.

Hark, the herald angels, &c.

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, &c.
