Hymnal and Order of Service ‎#24a

24a. 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!

2 Joyful all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
Universal nature say,
Christ the Lord is born today!

3 Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as Man with men to appear,
Jesus, our Immanuel here!

4 Hail, the heavenly Prince of Peace,
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings.

5 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.

6 Come Desire of nations, come,
Fix is us Thy humble home;
Oh, to all thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart!

Amen.
