Hymn Lyrics

Joyful and triumphant,

O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem;

Come and behold him, Born the King of angels;

O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him,

O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.

God of God, Light of Light,

Lo! he abhors not the Virgin's womb:

Very God, Begotten, not created; Refrain

Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation,

Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;

Glory to God In the highest; Refrain

See how the shepherds, Summoned to his cradle,

Leaving their flocks, draw nigh to gaze;

We too will thither Bend our joyful footsteps; Refrain

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 th' 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 man to dwell;

Jesus, our Emmanuel! Refrain

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.

Risen with healing in his wings, Light and life to all he brings,

Hail, the Sun of Righteousness!

Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Refrain
