Hark! All Around The Welkin Rings Lyrics

1. Hark! all around the welkin rings,
Bright Seraphs hail the morn,
That ushers in the King of Kings,
That saw a Saviour born.

[Chorus:]
Ye people on earth, your voices now raise,
To Christ our Redeemer, in carols of praise,
Hallelujah! praise the Lord, hallelujah!

2. Then shining heralds from on high
These joyful tidings bear,
With acclamations down the sky,
And humble shepherds hear;

3. "Glory to God, and peace to men,"
The heavenly choir did sing;
Let earth repeat the sound again,
And hail the new-born King.

4. This is the day our Lord did choose
To visit mortal man;
And from the bands of sin to loose
All those that trust in Him.

5. Lord Jesus, let thy kingdom spread
Through all the earth below;
Let every land thy wonders read,
And thy salvation know.

6. Hosanna! let all the earth and heaven
Salute the happy morn;
Today the promis'd child is given,
And God himself is born.
