Come, Nations, Come

Come

na­tions

come

and hail from far

Come hail the long-ex­pect­ed Star

For He who sprung from Jes­se’s stem

This day was born in Beth­le­hem.

Come

wan­der­ing pilg­rims

join the throng

And list­en to the an­gel song

Hark! as they chant the sweet re­frain

Of Peace on earth

good will toward men.

No voice more dear

no song more bright

Than that the an­gels sang the night

That ush­ered in the joy­ous morn

On which the Prince of Peace was born.

Haste with the shep­herds

haste away

Haste see the place where Je­sus lay

And with the an­gels hov­er­ing there

Sing prais­es in the mid­night air.

Let Heav’n and earth in con­cert sing

In car­ols to the new­born King

Re-echo­ing still the sweet re­frain

Peace—peace on earth

good will to­ward men.
