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 the angelic host proclaim:
   ”Christ is born in Bethlehem”
   Hark! The herald-angels sing
   ”Glory to the newborn 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 the incarnate Deity
   Please as man with man to dwell
   Jesus our Emmanuel
   Hark! The herald-angels sing
   ”Glory to the newborn King!”

3. Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
   Hail the Son of Righteousness!
   Light and life to all He brings
   Ris’n 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!”

(Mendelssohn)

1. Joy to the world! the Lord is come:
   let earth receive her King.
   Let every heart prepare him room,
   and heaven and nature sing,
   and heaven and nature sing,
   and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

2. Joy to the earth! the Saviour reigns;
   let all their songs employ,
   while fields and floods,
   rocks, hills, and plains
   repeat their sounding joy,
   repeat their sounding joy,
   repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

3. No more let sin and sorrow grow
   nor thorns infest the ground;
   he comes to make
   his blessings flow
   far as the curse is found,
   far as the curse is found,
   far as, far as the curse is found.

4. He rules the world with truth and grace,
   and makes the nations prove
   the glories of his righteousness
   and wonders of his love,
   and wonders of his love,
   and wonders, wonders of his love.

(Isaac Watts, 1719; based on Psalm 98)

1. O come, all ye faithful,
   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.

2. Sing, choirs of angels,
   sing in exultation,
   sing, all ye citizens of heaven above;
   glory to God,
   all glory in the highest;
   O come, let us adore him,O come, let us adore him,O come, let us adore him,Christ, the Lord.

3. Yea, Lord, we greet thee,
   born this happy morning,
   Jesus, to thee be all glory given;
   Word of the Father,
   now in flesh appearing;
   O come, let us adore him,O come, let us adore him,O come, let us adore him,Christ, the Lord.

(Attributed to John F. Wade 1711-1786)

1. Silent night, holy night,
   All is calm, all is bright
   Round yon virgin mother and Child.
   Holy Infant, so tender and mild,
   Sleep in heavenly peace,
   Sleep in heavenly peace.

2. Silent night, holy night,
   Shepherds quake at the sight;
   Glories stream from heaven afar,
   Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
   Christ the Savior is born,
   Christ the Savior is born!

3. Silent night, holy night,
   Son of God, love’s pure light;
   Radiant beams from Thy holy face
   With the dawn of redeeming grace,
   Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
   Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

4. Silent night, holy night,
   Wondrous star, lend thy light;
   With the angels let us sing,
   Alleluia to our King;
   Christ the Savior is born,
   Christ the Savior is born!

(Josef Mohr, 1818)
