Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Hark! the he-rald an-gels sing,__Glo-ry to the new-born King! Peace on earth and mer-cy mild,__God and sin-ners re-con-ciled. Joy-ful, all ye na-tions rise,___Join the tri-umph of the skies, With th' an-gel-ic host pro-claim, Christ is born in Beth-le-hem Hark! the he-rald an-gels sing,__Glo-ry to the new-born King! Christ, by high-est heav'n a-dored, Christ, the ev-er-last-ing Lord, Late in time be-hold him come,___Off-spring of the Vir-gin's womb. Veiled in flesh the God-head see,___Hail th'in-car-nate de-i-ty!__ Pleas'd as man with man to dwell, Je-sus,__our Em-ma-nu-el. Hark! the he-rald an-gels sing,__Glo-ry to the new-born King! Mild he lays his glo-ry by,___Born that man no more may die, Born to raise the sons of earth___Born to give them se-cond birth. Ris'n with heal-ing in his wings,__Light and life to all he brings, Hail, the Sun of Right-eous-ness! Hail, the heav-n-born Prince of Peace! Hark! the he-rald an-gels sing,__Glo-ry to the new-born King!Music by Felix Mendelssohn Words by Charles Wesley, George Whitefield, and Martin Madan
