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 th'angelic host proclaim,
|
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
|
|
[Refrain:]
|
Hark! the herald angels sing,
|
"Glory to the newborn King!"
|
|
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 th'incarnate Deity,
|
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
|
Jesus our Emmanuel.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Hail the heav'nly 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.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Come, Desire of nations, come,
|
Fix in us Thy humble home;
|
Rise, the woman's conqu'ring Seed,
|
Bruise in us the serpent's head.
|
Now display Thy saving power,
|
Ruined nature now restore;
|
Now in mystic union join
|
Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.
|
|
[Refrain]
|
|
Adam's likeness, Lord, efface,
|
Stamp Thine image in its place:
|
Second Adam from above,
|
Reinstate us in Thy love.
|
Let us Thee, though lost, regain,
|
Thee, the Life, the inner man:
|
O, to all Thyself impart,
|
Formed in each believing heart.
|
|
[Refrain]
