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 angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Refrain:
Hark! The herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn king!"
2 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 we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth. [Refrain]
Chorus 2:
King of heaven, come. King of heaven, come now.
Let Your glory reign, shining like the day,
King of heaven, come. King of heaven, rise up.
Who can stand against us? You are strong to save.
In Your mighty name, King of heaven, come.
Oh... 6x
3 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord,
late in time behold him come,
offspring of the virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail the incarnate deity,
pleased in flesh with us to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel. [Refrain] [Chorus 2]
King of heaven, come. King of heaven, come. [repeat]
King of heaven, come down. King of heaven, come now.
Let Your glory reign, shining like the day,
King of heaven, come.
