Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #34 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Topics: Names and Office of Christ Desire of Nations Lyrics: 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:
Universal nature say,
"Christ the Lord is born today!'
Refrain:
Hark! the herald angels sing:
“Glory to the newborn King!”
2 Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as Man with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel.
Hail, the heavenly Prince of Peace,
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen with healing in His wings. [Refrain]
3 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;
O to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart! [Refrain]
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
