Lyrics Mendelssohn / Arr Willcocks : Hark! The Herald Angels Sing - Felix Mendelssohn , Edward Higginbottom

Hark!
The herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled."
Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies; with
The angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!" Hark!
The herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King
Christ by highest Heav'n adored, Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come, offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark!
The herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King
Hail the Heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings, ris'n with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by, born that man no more may die, born
To raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth
Hark!
The herald angels sing, "Glory to the new-born King
