THE LORD HAS COME,
LET EARTH RECEIVE HER KING.
LET EVERY HEART PREPARE HIM ROOM;
AND HEAVEN AND NATURE SING,
AND HEAVEN AND NATURE SING,
AND HEAV'N, AND HEAV'N AND NATURE
SING
NO MORE LET SINS AND SORROWS GROW
NOR THORNS INFEST THE GROUND;
HE COMES TO MAKE HIS BLESSINGS
FLOW
FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND,
FAR AS, FAR AS THE CURSE IS FOUND.
[G. F. Handel, of Handel's
Messiah] [& Isaac Watts]
ThenSingsMySoul:
HARK! THE HERALD ANGELS SING
GLORY TO THE NEW BORN KING
PEACE ON EARTH AND MERCY MILD
PEACE ON EARTH AND MERCY MILD
GOD AND SINNER RECONCILED.
MILD HE LAYS HIS GLORY BY,
BORN THAT MAN 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 NEW BORN KING.
[Charles Wesley]
