Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! 
   Hail the Son 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 must die,
Born to raise those here on earth, 
   born to give them second birth.
Hark the herald angels sing, 
   Glory to the newborn King.
