HYMN 42.

Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconcil'd.
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 new born King.

Christ, by highest heav'n ador'd,
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of a virgin's womb.
Veil'd in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail! incarnate Deity;
Pleas'd as man with man appear.
Jesus our Immanuel here!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the new born King!

Hail.! the heav'n-born Prince of peace!
Hail! the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris'n with healing on 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;
