Text:Hark! the herald angels sing

17. 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 Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the Virgin's womb:

4 Veil'd in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the Incarnate Deity,
Pleased as Man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!

4 Risen with healing in his wings,
Light and life to all He brings.
Hail! the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
