1. Hark! all around the welkin rings,
Bright Seraphs hail the morn
That ushers in the King of kings,
That sees our Saviour born.
Chorus.
Ye people on earth, your voices now raise
To Christ your Redeemer with carols of praise;
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
2. The shining Heralds from on high
The joyful tidings bear
With acclamations down the sky,
And humble Shepherds hear. Chorus.
3. Glory to God, and peace to men,
The Heavenly Chorus sing;
Let Earth repeat the sound again,
To hail the new-born King. Chorus.
4. Live, Jesus! let thy Kingdom spread
Through all the earth below;
Let land to land thy wonders read,
And thy salvation know. Chorus.
5. Hosanna! let all Earth and Heaven
Salute this happy morn;
Today the promis'd Child is given,
And God himself is born. Chorus.
