Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Songtext
von Choristers of St. Paul's Cathedral

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
Glory to the newborn king


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.
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.

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
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to ...the newborn King.
