      7s.
      1 HARK the herald-angels sing
      "Glory to the new-born King,
      Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
      God and sinners reconciled."

      2 Christ, by highest heaven adored,
      Christ, the everlasting Lord,
      Late in time behold him come,
      Offspring of a virgin's womb!

      3 Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
      Hail the incarnate Deity!
      Pleased as man with men to appear,
      Jesus our Immanuel here.

      4 Hail the heaven-born Prince of peace!
      Hail the Sun of righteousness!
      Light and life to all he brings,
      Risen with healing in his wings.

      5 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.

      6 Come, Desire of nations, come,
      Fix in us thy humble home;
      Rise, the woman's conquering Seed
      Bruise in us the serpent's head.

      7 Adam's likeness now efface,
      Stamp thine image in its place:
      Second Adam from above,
      Reinstate us in thy love.
