1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
glory to the new-born King;
peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all you nations rise,
join the triumph of the skies;
with the angelic hosts proclaim,
'Christ is born in Bethlehem':
Hark! the herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King.

2 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgin's womb:
veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
hail the incarnate Deity!
pleased as man with us to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel:
Hark! the herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King.

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:
Hark! the herald angels sing
glory to the new-born King.
