| Tune: | [Hark! the herald angels sing] |
| Composer: | W. T. Rogers |
1 Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King,
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Chorus:
Joyfully, Joyfully, Joyfully,
Prince of peace,
Hail him joyfully,
Hail him joyfully,
Hail him Son of righteousness.
2 Joyfuly, all ye nations rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem." [Chorus]
3 Hail, the holy prince of peace!
Hail, the sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
Ris'n with healing in his wings, [Chorus]
4 Let us, then, with angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King,
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled. [Chorus]
