Hark! The Herald Angels Sing A multitude of the heavenly host praising God Lk. 2:13Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King;Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinnersreconciled! Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumphof the skies; With angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem! Hark! The heraldangels sing, Glory to the new born King. 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 God-head see; Hail th incarnateDeity, Pleased as man with man to dwell,Jesus, our Emmanuel. Hark! The herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King. Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness!Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings. Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man nomore may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The heraldangels sing, Glory to the new born King. Come, Desire of nations, come! Fix in us Thy humble home:Rise the women s conquering seed, Bruise in us theserpents head; Adam s likeness now efface, Stamp Thine imagein its place: Second Adam from above,Re-instate us in Thy love. Hark! The heraldangels sing, Glory to the new born King.
