Hark the Angels’ Song

lyricist: Alice Cleator, 1904
Composer: Lincoln Hall

Hark the an­gels’ song

Hark the an­gels’ song

Ringing thro’ the por­tals on high;

Look

each star so bright

Trembles in de­light

As they hear the heav’n­ly cry.

Glory to God in the high­est!

Glory to God in the high­est!

Good news of peace un­to all I bring

Yonder is born a king

Glory to God in the high­est!

Glory to God in the high­est!

Glory to God

glo­ry to God

Glory to God on high!

Hark the an­gels’ song

Hark the an­gels’ song

Song that nev­er mor­tals have heard—

Rise

O sleep­ing earth

Hail thy Sav­ior’s birth

Bow in praise be­fore the Lord.

Hark the an­gels’ song

Hark the an­gels’ song

Sweeter words no mor­tal could frame;

Song in Heav­en taught

All with rap­ture fraught

Sounding forth the glo­ri­ous praise.
