"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!
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain]
3 Hail the heav'nborn 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]

1 Oid un son en alta esfera:
"¡en los cielos gloria a Dios!
¡Al mortal paz en la tierra!"
canta la celeste voz.
Con los cielos alabemos,
al eterno Rey contemos,
a Jesús que es nuestro bien,
con el coro de Belén.
Estribillo:
Canta la celeste voz:
"¡En los cielos, gloria a Dios!"
2 El Señor de los señores,
el Ungido celestial,
a salvar los pecadores
bajó el seno virginal.
Loor al Verbo encarnado,
en humanidad velado;
gloria al Santo de Israel,
cuyo nombre es Emmanuel. [Estribillo]
3 Príncipe de paz eterna,
gloria a ti, Señor Jesús,
entregando el alma tierna,
tú nos traes vida y luz.
Has tu majestad dejado
y buscarnos te has dignado;
para darnos el vivir
a la cruz fuiste a morir. [Estribillo]
