1. HARK! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
2. Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic hosts proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
3. Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
4. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man t' appear,
Jesus our Immanuel here.
1. LET us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for He is kind:
Let us blaze His name abroad,
For of gods He is the God;
Who by His wisdom did create
The painted heavens so full of state :
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
2. Who did the solid earth ordain
To rise above the watery plain;
And caused the golden-tressed sun
All day long his course to run;
The horned moon to shine by night,
Amongst her spangled sisters bright:
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
3. All living creatures He doth feed,
And with full hand supplies their need:
Let us, therefore, warble forth
His mighty majesty and worth.
That His mansion hath on high,
Above the reach of mortal eye :
For His mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
