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 to-day!
3 Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity!
Please 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 in us Thy humble home;
Oh, to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart!
