Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new born King,
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.

(Refrain)
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King.

Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem'.

Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Christ, the ever lasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come,
Off spring of a virgin's womb.

Veiled in flesh the God head see!
Hail, th' incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.

Hail, the heav'n born prince of peace!
Hail, the sun 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.

Risen with healing in his wings,
Light and life to all he brings,
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace!

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 now efface:
Stamp Thine image in its place;
Second Adam, from above,
Reinstate us in thy love.
