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
