Vince Guaraldi Hark! The Herald Angels Sing lyrics

"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 the 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 the 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 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
