Sunday Worship Song Lyrics

HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING
by Charles Wesley (1739)

Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born 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 new-born king"

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 men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!

Hail, the heav'n-born Prince
of peace
Hail the Son 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

Hark! The herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!

ANGELS WE HAVE HEARD ON HIGH
by James Chadwick (1862)

Angels we have heard on high

Sweetly singing o'er the plain

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their joyous strain


Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why your joyous strains prolong?

What the gladsome tidings be?

Which inspire your heavenly songs?

 
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!


Come to Bethlehem and see

Christ whose birth the angels sing;

Come, adore on bended knee,

Christ, the Lord, the newborn King.


 
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!


See Him in a manger laid,
Jesus Lord of Heaven and earth;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
With the singing of Savior's birth.



 Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Gloria, in excelsis Deo!

O COME, O COME, EMMANUEL
Unknown (8^th or 9^th Century)

O come, O come, Emmanuel

And ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here

Until the Son of God appear

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Day-Spring,
come and cheer

Our spirits by Thine advent here

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows
put to flight.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Thou Wisdom
from on high,
and order all things far and nigh
To us the path of knowledge show
And cause us in her ways to go
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.

O come, Desire of nations,
Bind all peoples in one heart
and mind
Bid envy, strife, and quarrels cease
Fill the whole world with
heaven’s peace
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.
