1. 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!”
2. Christ, by highest heaven 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’ incarnate Deity, pleased with us in flesh to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born King!”
3. Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, risen with healing in his wings.
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.
Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new born King!”

1. Good Christian friends, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice; Give ye heed to what we say: Jesus Christ is born today; Ox and ass before Him bow; and He is in the manger now.
Christ is born today! Christ is born today!
2. Good Christian friends, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice; Now ye hear of endless bliss: Jesus Christ was born for this! He has opened heaven’s door, and we are blest forevermore. Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!
3. Good Christian friends, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice; Now ye need not fear the grave: Jesus Christ was born to save! Calls you one and calls you all, to gain His everlasting hall. Christ was born to save! Christ was born to save!

1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul! What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul.

2 When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down, O my soul! When I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside His crown for my soul.

3 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing; to God and to the Lamb, I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb who is the great “I AM,” while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing, while millions join the theme, I will sing.

1 Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down; fix in us thy humble dwelling; all thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art; visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart.
2 Breathe, O breathe thy loving Spirit into every troubled breast! Let us all in thee inherit; let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning, set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty to deliver, let us all thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above, pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.
4 Finish, then, Thy new cre­ation; Pure and spot­less let us be. Let us see Thy great sal­va­tion Perfectly re­stored in Thee; Changed from glo­ry in­to glo­ry, Till in Heav’n we take our place,Till we cast our crowns be­fore Thee,
Lost in won­der, love, and praise.

2 We are not the first to bebanished by our fears from thee; give us courage, let us hear heaven’s trumpets ringing clear. God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour. 
3 All our lives belong to thee, thou our final loyalty; slaves are we whene’er we share that devotion anywhere. God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour. 
4 God of love and God of power, make us worthy of this hour;offering lives if it’s thy will, keeping free our spirits still. God of love and God of power, thou hast called us for this hour
