Hark, hark, glad tidings charm our ears,
Angelic music fills the spheres;
Earth spread the sound with decent mirth,
A God is born on earth!
A God is born, the valleys cry;
A God is born, the hills reply;
Evening repeats to wondering morn,
A God on earth is born!}}

Our frailties long he deigned to share,
The Heir of heaven, of pain the heir.
By miracles his power he proved;
Preached, fasted, wept, sighed, groaned, and died.
He lived that men might live in peace,
He died that death and sin might cease.
He rose to prove to hell's fierce power
Blessed immortality is ours.
O may we strive like him to live,
Our friends esteem, our foes forgive;
Our country love, our God adore,
Till sin and death shall reign no more.}}

Hark, hark, glad tidings charm our ears,
Angelic music fills the spheres;
Earth spread the sound with decent mirth,
A God is born on earth!
A God is born, the valleys cry;
A God is born, the hills reply;
Evening repeats to wondering morn,
A God on earth is born!

 

Our frailties long he deigned to share,
The Heir of heaven, of pain the heir.
By miracles his power he proved;
Preached, fasted, wept, sighed, groaned, and died.
He lived that men might live in peace,
He died that death and sin might cease.
He rose to prove to hell's fierce power
Blessed immortality is ours.
O may we strive like him to live,
Our friends esteem, our foes forgive;
Our country love, our God adore,
Till sin and death shall reign no more.
