Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Songtext
von Johnny Cash

Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born 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 the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the son 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
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King

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 now efface
Stamp Thine image in its place
Second Adam from above
Reinstate us in Thy love


Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
