Cummings & Mendelssohn: Hark! the Herald Angels Sing (After Mendelssohn's Gutenberg Cantata, WoO 9, MWV D4)

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 favoured one
 Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
 Hail, th'incarnate Deity
 Pleased, as man, with men to dwell
 Jesus, our Emmanuel!
 Hark! the herald angels sing
 Glory to the new-born King
 Hail! the heaven-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 son of earth
 Born to give them second birth
 Hark! the herald angels sing
 "Glory to the new-born King"
