Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled. What child is this, who laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul and voice, For Christ is born, salvation bringing. Joy to the world, the Savior reigns, Let men their songs employ. Sing, choirs of angels, sing in exultation, O sing, all ye citizens of heaven above! Chains shall He break, for the slave is our brother, And in His name, all oppression shall cease. Mild He lays His glory by, Born that man no more may die. Raise, raise the song on high, Let heaven and nature sing. Crown Him with many crowns, And worship Christ the King.
