Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (Mendelssohn)

[Verse 1]
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 angelic hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

[Refrain]
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King

[Verse 2]
Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail the incarnate Deity
pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel

[Verse 3]
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Sun of Righteousness
Light and life to all he brings
risen with healing in his wings

Mild he lays his glory by
born that we no more may die
born to raise us from the earth
born to give us second birth

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 angelic hosts proclaim

Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark! the herald angels sing,

Glory to the newborn King

Christ, by highest heaven adored,

Christ, the everlasting Lord,

late in time behold him come,

offspring of the Virgin's womb

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

hail the incarnate Deity

pleased with us in flesh to dwell

Jesus, our Immanuel

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace

Hail the Sun of Righteousness

Light and life to all he brings

risen with healing in his wings

Mild he lays his glory by

born that we no more may die

born to raise us from the earth

born to give us second birth
