Chapters

1, 2, 3. Reconcile. Joyful all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies. With angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem. Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the new Holy King. Christ, my highest head, adore Christ, the everlasting Lord. Om desiderio, he'll come, offspring of the Virgin's womb. Bled in flesh, the Godhead see, heaven-incarnate deity, pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, happy man you were. Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King. Hail the Head, O Prince of Peace! Hail the Son of righteousness! Light and life to all he brings, wisdom and healing in his wings. Mild he lays his glory by, Born that men 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.
