Song by: Charles Wesley (1739)
Verse 1:
Hark the herald angels sing
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 angelic hosts proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Chorus:
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Verse 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 incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel
Chorus:
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Verse 3:
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 we no more may die
Born to raise us from the earth
Born to give us second birth
Chorus:
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
