Hark The Herald Angels

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing was a hymn written by Charles Wesley in 1739.

The music was written by Mendelssohn in 1840, and

William Cummings merged them together in 1855

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 th' angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
 Hark! the herald angels sing,
Christ is born in Bethlehem.
 Christ, by highest heaven adored
 Christ, the everlasting Lord;
 Late in time behold Him come
 Offspring of a virgin's womb.
 Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
 Hail th' Incarnate Deity,
 Pleased as man with man to dwell;
 Jesus, our Emmanuel.
 Come, Desire of nations come,
 Fix in us Thy humble home;
 Rise, the Woman's conquering Seed,
 Bruise in us the Serpent's head.
 Adam's likeness, Lord efface:
 Stamp Thy image in its place;
 Second Adam, from above,
 Reinstate us in thy love
 Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
 Hail, the Son 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.
