Chorus:
[C] Hark! the her[Em]ald [Am] an[E]gels [Am] sing,
[D7] "Glory [G] to the [G] new[D7]born [G] King!"

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 with us in flesh to dwell, 
Jesus our Emmanuel.

Chorus

Hail the heaven 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.

Chorus
