Hark the Herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King

Peace on earth and mercy mild

God and sinners reconciled



Joyful all ye nations rise

Join the triumph of the skies

With angelic host proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem



Hark the Herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King



Hail the Heaven born Prince of peace

Hail the Son of righteousness

Light and life to all He brings

Risen with healing in His wings



Mild He lays His glory by

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

Hark the Herald angels sing

Glory to the new born King
