1. Hark! Hear ye not the Angel song
The hills of Bethlehem among?
To you this day the Incarnate Word,
To you, the Everlasting Lord
To you on earth, this happy morn,
To you the Prince of Peace is born;
Whilst heav’n re-echos yet again,
Peace, peace on earth, good-will to men.

2. Thus angels sang, and thus sing we,
To God on high all glory be;
Let Him on earth His peace bestow,
And unto men His favour show.
Then men and maidens, young and old,
Come, join the shepherds at the fold,
And singing list, and list’ning sing
A carol to our new-born King.
