Author: | Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 |
Tune: | MENDELSSOHN |
Composer: | Felix Mendelssohn, 1809-1847 |
1 Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all you nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Refrain:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"
2 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time, behold him come,
Offspring of the virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see:
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with us to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel. (Refrain)
3 Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris'n hlays his glory by,
Born that we no more may die,
Born to raise us from the earth,
Born to give us second birth. (Refrain)
