Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Key of F · 110 BPM · 4/4

Charles Wesley's timeless Advent hymn invites us into the wonder of the Incarnation—that Jesus would “lay his glory by,” stepping down into our world for His people.

Lyrics

VERSE 1
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 hosts proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

REFRAIN
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Glory to the newborn King

VERSE 2
Christ by highest heaven adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of the Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus our Immanuel

REFRAIN
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Glory to the newborn King

(Gloria, Gloria)
Glory to the newborn King

VERSE 3
Hail the heav'n born Prince of Peace
Hail the Sun 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

REFRAIN
Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Glory to the newborn King

(Gloria, Gloria)
