Christmas Songs ‎#4

4. 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 triumphs of the skies;
With th'angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
With th'angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

2 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.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th'incarnate Deity;
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel!
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel!

3 Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings;
Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home.
