English text
- 1.
- Hark, how all the welkin rings,
- "Glory to the King of kings;
- peace on earth, and mercy mild,
- God and sinners reconciled!"
- 2.
- Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
- join the triumph of the skies;
- universal nature say,
- "Christ the Lord is born today!"
- 3.
- Christ, by highest Heaven adored,
- Christ, the everlasting Lord:
- late in time behold him come,
- offspring of a Virgin's womb!
- 4.
- Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see,
- hail the incarnate Deity!
- pleased as man with men to appear,
- Jesus, our Emmanuel here!
- 5.
- Hail, the heavenly Prince of Peace,
- Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!
- Light and life to all he brings,
- risen with healing in his wings.
- 6.
- 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.
- 7.
- Come, Desire of nations, come,
- fix in us thy humble home;
- rise, the woman's conquering Seed,
- bruise in us the serpent's head.
- 8.
- Now display thy saving power,
- ruined nature now restore;
- now in mystic union join
- thine to ours, and ours to thine.
- 9.
- Adam's likeness, Lord, efface,
- Stamp thy image in its place.
- Second Adam from above,
- Reinstate us in thy love.
- 10.
- Let us thee, though lost, regain,
- Thee, the life, the inner man:
- O, to all thyself impart,
- Formed in each believing heart.
- Lyrics: Charles Wesley, 1739;
