Christ is born in Betlehem

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Charles Wesley. Felix  Mendelssohn 

1.Hark! The Herald angels sing.
“Glory to the new-born King!
Peace on earth and mercy  mild,
God and sinners reconciled!”

Jouful,  all ye nations, rise;
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th`angelic host proclaim,
Christ  is Born in  Betlehem.

2.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.

Veiled in fiesh the God-head see:
Hail th`incarnate Deity;
Pleased as man with men  to dwell,
Jesus,  our Immanuel!

3.Hail the heav`n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun  of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,


Ris`n  with healing  in  His wings.
Christ, by highest   heav`n adored,
Christ, the ever lasting Lord:
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home.
