1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled.”
2 Joyful, all ye nations, rise;
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th'angelic hosts proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem.”
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.
4 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.
5 Let us then with angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!--
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled!"
