"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 the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Refrain:
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"
2 Christ, by highest heav'n adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
in the manger born a King,
while adoring angels sing.
"Peace on earth, to all goodwill";
bid the trembling soul be still;
Christ on earth has come to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel! [Refrain]
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.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Easter; Healing; Jesus Christ King; Joy; Peace on Earth Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN
