3.  HARK! HARK!

Hark! Hark! what news the angels bring,
Glad tidings of a new born King,
Born of a Maid, a Virgin pure.
Born without sin, from guilt secure.  From guilt
secure,
Born without sin, from guilt,
Born without sin, from guilt secure.

Hail mighty Prince, eternal King,
Let Heaven and earth rejoice and sing.
Angels and men with one accord
Break forth in songs to praise the Lord, to praise
the Lord.
Break forth in songs to praise,
Break forth in songs to praise the Lord.

Echoes shall waft the strains around,
Till listening angels hear the sound,
And all the Heavenly Hosts above
Shall join to sing redeeming love, redeeming love,
Shall join to sing redeem,
Shall join to sing redeeming love.
