Full Lyrics of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing"
**Verse 1**
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 the angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born 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, the incarnate Deity,
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King."
**Verse 3**
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."
