HARK! the Herald Angels sing
Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on Earth, and Mercy mild
God and Sinners reconcil'd
Joyful all ye Nations rise
Join the Triumphs of the Skies
Nature rise and worship him
CHRIST the LORD is born to Day!
CHRIST, by highest Heav'n ador'd
CHRIST, the Everlasting Lord
Late in Time behold him come
Offspring of a Virgin's Womb
Veil'd in Flesh, the Godhead see
Hail th' Incarnate Deity!
Pleas'd as Man with Men t' appear
JESUS, our Immanuel here!
Hail the Heav'nly Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun 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
Come, Desire of Nations, come
Fix in Us thy humble Home
Rise, the Woman's Conqu'ring Seed
Bruise in Us the Serpent's Head
Now display thy saving Pow'r
Ruin'd Nature now restore
Now in Mystic Union join
Thine to Ours, and Ours to Thine
Adam's Likeness, LORD, efface
Stamp thy Image in its Place
Second Adam from above
Reinstate us in thy Love
Let us Thee, tho' lost, regain
Thee, the Life, the Inner Man
O! to All Thyself impart
Form'd in each Believing Heart
