554 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 triumph of the skies

With the angelic host proclaim

“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Chorus:

Hark! The herald angels sing,

“Glory to the newborn king!”

Christ, by highest heaven adored

Christ, the everlasting Lord

Late in time behold Him come

Offspring of the virgin’s womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see

Hail the Incarnate Deity

Pleased as Man with men to dwell

Jesus our Emmanuel!

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)
