Mendelssohn: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing |
| 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, |
| Christ is born in Bethlehem. |
| Christ, by highest heaven 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 as man with man to dwell; |
| Jesus, our Emmanuel. |
| Come, Desire of nations come, |
| Fix in us Thy humble home; |
| Rise, the Woman’s conquering Seed, |
| Bruise in us the Serpent’s head. |
| Adam’s likeness, Lord efface: |
| Stamp Thy image in its place; |
| Second Adam, from above, |
| Reinstate us in thy love. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
