55. Hark! the Herald Angels Sing

1 Hark! the hearld angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!"
Joyful, all ye nations, rise;
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
With th'angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

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,
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th'incarnate Deity;
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel!
Pleased as man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel!

3 Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
LIght and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing in His wings.
Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home.
