Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

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 th'angelic host proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem.

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

Christ, by highest heav'n adored, Christ the everlasting Lord,

Late in time behold him come Offspring of a virgin's womb:

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail th'íncarnate Deity!

Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.

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

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.

Ris'n with healing in his wings, Light and life to all he brings,

Hail, the Sun of Righteousness! Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of Peace

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

Italian text

Cantan gli Angeli nei cieli, Gloria Gloria al Redentor,
sopra gli uomini e le cose, sia la pace del Signor,
I confini della terra, sian segnati dall'Amore,

non fuggire dal suo Amor, Egli è venuto anche per te.
