#87. Hark the Herald Angels Sing
|
||||||
|
1) 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 the angelic host proclaim: "Christ is born in Bethlehem !"
Hark ! The herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King !"
2) Christ by highest heav'n 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 !
Hark ! The herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King !"
3) Mild he lays his glory by, born that we no more may die,
Born to raise us from the earth, born to give us 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 !
Hark ! The herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King !"
