george whitefield - hark! the herald angels sing lyrics
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 triumphs of the skies;
nature rise and worship him
who is born at bethlehem
christ by highest heav’n ador’d
christ the everlasting lord;
late in time behold-him come
offspring of the virgin’s womb
veil’d in flesh the godhead see
hail th’ incarnate deity!
pleas’d as man with men t’appear
jesus our emmanuel here
hail the heav’n-born prince of peace
hail the son of righteousness!
light and life around he brings
ris’n with healing in his wings
mild he lays his glory by
born that men no more may die;
born to raise the sons of earth
born to give them second birth
come, desire of nations, come
fix in us thy heav’nly home;
rise the woman’s conqu’ring seed
bruise in us the serpent’s head
adam’s likeness now efface
stamp thy image in its place;
second adam from above
work it in us by thy love
