Text: | Hark! the herald angels sing |
Author: | Charles Wesley |
Tune: | MENDELSSOHN |
Composer: | Felix Mendelssohn |
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.
Refrain:
Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the new born King.
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.
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. [Refrain]
3 Let us then with angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!--
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled!"
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
O, to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart! [Refrain]
Amen.
