Hark! How the Bells

Composer: James Baden Powell, 1893

Hark! how the bells at mid­night hour

Telling their tale from tow­er to tow­er

Bringing glad tid­ings to the morn

Merrily are ring­ing

Christ is born.

Hark to the songs of heav­en­ly love

Angels are hymn­ing from above;

Hark! as again we hear them sing

Glory in the high­est; Christ is King!

Hail to the King! who comes so meek

Hail to the Child! so poor

so weak

Hail to the Son! our God

the Word

Alleluia! praise ye Christ

the Lord.

Come

Christ­ians

come and joy­ous greet

Jesus

the Child; with wel­come meet;

Bringing sal­va­tion

born for you—

Laud Him then with hearts and voic­es true.
