55. Hark! the herald angels sing

1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled!”

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

3 Mild He lays His glory by;
Born that we no more may die;
Born to raise the sons of earth;
Born to give them second birth.

4 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.
