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 triumphs of the skies,
with angelic host proclaim: Christ is born in Bethlehem.
Hark, the herald angels sing glory to the newborn King.

Christ, by highest heav'ns adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come, offspring of the virgin's womb!
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail, incarnate Deity! (day-äti-i)
Pleased as man with us 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 we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth, born to give us second birth.
Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King.
Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King.
