HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING

by Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

VERSE 1

Hark! the herald angels sing,

“Glory to the new born King;

peace on earth and mercy mild,

God and sinners reconciled!”

Joyful, all ye nations, rise;

join the triumph of the skies;

with the angelic hosts proclaim,

“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

REFRAIN

Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!”

VERSE 2

Christ, by highest heaven adored,

Christ, the everlasting Lord!

Late in time behold him come,

offspring of the virgin’s womb.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

hail the incarnate Deity,

pleased as man with us to dwell,

Jesus, our Immanuel.

REFRAIN

VERSE 3

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.

Mild, he lays his glory by,

born that we no more may die,

born to raise us from the earth,

born to give us second birth.

REFRAIN

Ekklesia Muskogee is a reformed baptist church that gathers for worship in Muskogee, Oklahoma. We confess the 1689 second London baptist confession of faith. We affirm the five solas of the Reformation as well as the doctrines of grace (otherwise known as the five points of Calvinism), and each of our pastors would not be ashamed to be called a Calvinist. We are a church led by elders, of which there is a plurality (also called pastors and overseers in the Scriptures). Our mission is to make disciples, love cities, and plant churches.
