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 host proclaim, “Christ is Born in Bethlehem!” Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King”(remain standing as able)
The Children sing again: Jesus is Born tonight!
(Please join in singing)

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 we no more may die, Born to raise us from the earth,

Born to give us second birth.
