Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise, join the trumpets of the skies,
Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King.
Late in time behold Him come, offspring of a virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail the incarnate Deity.
Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King.
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,
Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the new born King.
