Christ by highest heav'n 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 as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Immanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.

Hail, the heav'n-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Sun 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 suns of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King.
