"Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (adapted by W. H. Cummings from Mendelsso" Lyrics

Hark! The herald the angels sing
'Glory to the new born 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 new born 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 as Man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel!

Hark! The herald angels sing..etc.
Hail, the heav'nly Prince of peace!
Hail, the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings
Ris'n with healing in His wings
Mild He leaves His throne on high
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth

Hark! The herald angels sing, etc
Come, Desire of nations, come
Fix in us Thy humble home
Oh, to all Thyself impart
Formed in each believing heart!
Hark! The herald angels sing
'Glory to the new-born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

Hark! The herald angels sing...etc.
