VERSE 1:
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled."
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!
(The following verse is NOT sung on the Boney M Version)
VERSE 2:
Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil'd in flesh,
Laughing Stock
Laughing stock proves that the world is made of rock
That some grow happily on, but that's hard for some
You and your friend and
all the rest of God's sweet children
Never weak, always strong
That's hard for some
You ask me why
You're just a couple of strangers in a bar
Giving me the chance to explain myself away
Some entertainment to give away
In your eyes I see the rest of life just passes by
And that's hard for some
You ask me why
That's your alibi
Isn't everything clear
No clouds in the sky
The laughing stock proves that the world is made of rock
That's hard for some
