1. Hark! The her- ald an- gels sing, "Glo- ry to the new- born King; Peace on earth, and mer- cy mild, God and sin- ners re- con- ciled!" Joy- ful, all ye na- tions rise, Join the tri- umph of the skies; With th'an- gel- ic host pro- claim, "Christ is born in Beth- le- hem!" Hark! the her- ald an- gels sing, "Glo- ry to the new- born King!"

2. Christ, by high- est Heav'n a- dored; Christ the ev- er- last- ing Lord; Late in time, be- hold Him come, Off- spring of a vir- gin's womb. Veiled in flesh the God- head see; Hail th'in- car- nate De- i- ty, Pleased with us in flesh to dwell, Je- sus our Em- man- u- el.

3. Hail the heav'n- ly Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Right- eous- ness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris'n with heal- ing in His wings. Mild He lays His glo- ry by, Born that man no more may die. Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them se- cond birth.

4. Come, De- sire of na- tions, come, Fix in us Thy hum- ble home; Rise, the wo- man's con- qu'ring Seed, Bruise in us the ser- pent's head. Now dis- play Thy sav- ing po- wer, Ruin- ed na- ture now re- store; Now in my- stic un- ion join Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.

5. Ad- am's like- ness, Lord, ef- face, Stamp Thine im- age in its place: Se- cond Ad- am from a- bove, Re- in- state us in Thy love. Let us Thee, though lost, re- gain, Thee, the Life, the in- ner man: O, to all Thy- self im- part, Formed in each be- liev- ing heart.
