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 angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem

CHORUS:
Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!

Christ by highest heav’n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time, behold Him come,
Offspring of the Virgin’s womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail, Incarnate Deity
Pleased as Man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel
(Repeat Chorus)

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;
Ris’n with healing in His wings,
Light and life to all he brings,
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
Hail, the heav’n born Prince of Peace
(Repeat Chorus)

Spanish Lyrics:
Escuchad el Son Triumphal

Escuchad el son triunfal de la hueste celestial
Paz y buena voluntad; salvación Dios os dará.
Cante hoy toda nación la angelical canción;
estas nuevas todos den: Nació Cristo en Belén.

Coro:
Escuchad el son triunfal
Nació Cristo en Belén.

¡Salve, Príncipe de Paz! redención traído has,
luz y vida con virtud, en tus alas la salud.
De tu trono has bajado y la muerte conquistado
para dar al ser mortal nacimiento celestial.
(Coro)

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,
Ris’n with healing in His wings; Light and life to all he brings,
Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Hail, the heav’n born Prince of Peace
(Coro)
