Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Lyrics

HARK! the Herald Angels sing

Glory to the new-born King!

Peace on Earth, and Mercy mild

God and Sinners reconcil'd

Joyful all ye Nations rise

Join the Triumphs of the Skies

Universe, all nature save

CHRIST the LORD is born to Day!

CHRIST, by highest Heav'n ador'd

CHRIST, the Everlasting Lord

Late in Time behold him come

Offspring of a Virgin's Womb

Veil'd in Flesh, the Godhead see

Hail th' Incarnate Deity!

Pleas'd as Man with Men t' appear

JESUS, our Immanuel here!

Hail the Heav'nly 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 Man no more may die

Born—to raise the Sons of Earth

Born—to give them Second Birth

Come, Desire of Nations, come

Fix in Us thy humble Home

Rise, the Woman's Conqu'ring Seed

Bruise in Us the Serpent's Head

Now display thy saving Pow'r

Ruin'd Nature now restore

Now in Mystic Union join

Thine to Ours, and Ours to Thine

Adam's Likeness, LORD, efface

Stamp thy Image in its Place

Second Adam from above

Reinstate us in thy Love

Let us Thee, tho' lost, regain

Thee, the Life, the Inner Man

O! to All Thyself impart

Form'd in each Believing Heart
