Hark! Hark what news the angels bring:
Glad tidings of a new-born King,
Born of a maid, a virgin pure,
Born without sin, from guilt secure.
Hail mighty Prince, eternal King!
Let heaven and earth rejoice and sing!
Angels and men with one accord
Break forth in songs: '0 praise the Lord!
Behold! He comes, and leaves the skies:
Awake, ye slumbering mortals, rise!
Awake to joy, and hail the morn
The Saviour of this world was born!
Echo shall waft the strains around
Till listening angels hear the sound,
And all the heavenly host above
Shall join to sing redeeming love.
