| 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
|
| Join the triumph of the skies;
|
| With th’angelic host proclaim
|
| «Christ is born in Bethlehem!»
|
| Hark! |
| the herald angels sing
|
| «Glory to the newborn King!»
|
| Christ, by highest Heav’n adored;
|
| Christ the everlasting Lord;
|
| Late in time, behold Him come
|
| Offspring of a virgin’s womb
|
| Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
|
| Hail th’incarnate Deity
|
| Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
|
| Jesus our Emmanuel
|
| Hail the heav’nly Prince of Peace!
|
| Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
|
| Light and life to all He brings
|
| Ris’n with healing in His wings
|
| 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;
|
| Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring Seed
|
| Bruise in us the serpent’s head
|
| Now display Thy saving power
|
| Ruined nature now restore;
|
| Now in mystic union join
|
| Thine to ours, and ours to Thine
|
| Adam’s likeness, Lord, efface
|
| Stamp Thine image in its place:
|
| Second Adam from above
|
| Reinstate us in Thy love
|
| Let us Thee, though lost, regain
|
| Thee, the Life, the inner man:
|
| O, to all Thyself impart
|
| Formed in each believing heart |
