Calvary Songs ‎#6

6. Hark, the Hearld-Angels Sing

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 the angel-host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
With the angel-host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem!

2 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of a Virgin's womb,
Vailed in flesh the God-head see;
Hail! th'incarnate Deity!
Pleased as Man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel,
Pleased as Man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.

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 man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
