64. Hail Him King

1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise and sing,
Join the triumphs of your King,
With angelic hosts aloud proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Refrain:
Hail Him King,
Hail Him King.
Crown Him Lord o’er earth and sky, and
Hail Him King.

2 Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail incarnate Deity;
Come and worship humbly at his feet;
Yield to him the homage meet;
From the manger raise him to the throne,
Homage due to God alone. [Refrain]

3 Hail the heav’n-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Son of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings;
Ris’n with healing in his wings.
Wonderful in counsel, come and see,
Christ th’incarnate Deity;
Sire of the ages, ne’er to cease;
King of kings, and Prince of peace. [Refrain]
