Conquering Seed

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring Seed,
Bruise in us the serpent’s head.
Now display Thy saving power,
Ruined nature now restore;
Now in mystic union join
Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.

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

Charles Wesley, 1739
