Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #214 (2001) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Scripture: Luke 2:13-14 Refrain First Line: Hark! The herald angles sing, “Glory to the newborn King!” Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born 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!"
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born 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.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!"
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 man no more may die,
Born to raise us from the earth,
Born to give us second birth.
