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!" Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!" 2 Christ, by highest heav'n adored, Christ, the everlasting Lord, Late in time behold Him come, Offspring of a virgin's womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail th'incarnate Deity! Pleased as Man with man to dwell; Jesus, our Immanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!" 3 Hail, the heav'nly Prince of Peace! Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris'n with healing in His wings. Mild, He leaves His throne on high, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth; Born to give them second birth, Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!" 4 Come, Desire of Nations, come, Fix in us Thy humble home; Rise, the women's conqu'ring Seed, Bruise in us the serpent's head. Adam's likeness, Lord, efface; Print Thine image in its place; O to all Thyself impart, Formed in each believing heart. Hark! the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King!"

This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! 2 Why lies He in such mean estate Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Christians, fear: for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, The cross be borne for me, for you; Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary! 3 So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king, to own Him; The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Raise, raise the song on high, The Virgin sings her lullaby; Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Topics: Nativity of our Lord Used With Tune: GREENSLEEVES

The Lord of men and angels Rode on in lowly state Nor scorned that little children Should on His bidding wait. 3 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing, For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n our King. O may we ever praise Him With heart and life and voice And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice!
