VERSE 1 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!" VERSE 2 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 the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!" VERSE 3 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!"

VERSE 1 O come, O come, Emmanuel, And ransom captive Israel, That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. VERSE 2 O come Thou Wisdom from on high, Who orders all things far and wide; From depths of hell Thy people save, And give them victory o'er the grave. CHORUS Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! VERSE 3 O come Thou Dayspring, come and cheer Our spirits by Thine advent here. Disperse the gloomy clouds of night, And death's dark shadows put to flight. CHORUS Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! VERSE 4 O come Desire of nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind; Bid Thou our sad divisions cease, And be Thyself our King of Peace. CHORUS Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!

VERSE 1 Strangers and exiles, ashamed alone Lost in shadows, banished from home O God of mercy, in our distress Hear our cry in the wilderness VERSE 2 Oh night of weeping, behold the morn A Savior comes, in exile born A light in darkness, our God in flesh Hear him cry in the wilderness CHORUS Hallelujah! God is with us All those in darkness, arise and sing Hallelujah! Our salvation All creation, behold your King! VERSE 3 Despised, rejected, cast out for me The firstborn son cursed on a tree O stricken Savior, my righteousness Hear him cry in the wilderness TAG Now “it is finished!” he dies our death He is our cry in the wilderness Triumphant cry in the wilderness! CHORUS Hallelujah! God is with us All those in darkness, arise and sing Hallelujah! Our salvation All creation, behold your King! BRIDGE Come now and join the cry Of those who wait for Christ Prepare the way for Him Make straight the paths again Each spring again will flow And mountains leveled low All men will finally see The coming of our King

VERSE 1 What Child is this who, laid to rest On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? CHORUS This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary. VERSE 2 Why lies He in such mean estate, Where ox and ass are feeding? Come, have no fear; the Son is here, His love all loves exceeding. CHORUS This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary. VERSE 3 Nails, spear shall pierce Him through, The cross be borne for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The Babe, the Son of Mary. CHORUS This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary. VERSE 4 So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own Him; The King of Kings salvation brings, Let loving hearts enthrone Him. CHORUS This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; Haste, haste, to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary.

VERSE 1 Angels we have heard on high Sweetly singing o'er the plains And the mountains in reply Echoing their joyous strains. CHORUS Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo! Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo! VERSE 2 Sheperds why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong? What the gladsome tidings be Which inspire your heavenly song? VERSE 3 Come to Bethlehem and see Christ whose birth the angels sing. Come adore on bended knee Christ our Lord the newborn King. CHORUS Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo! Glo-o-o-ria, in Excelsis Deo!
