Peace on Earth

Hark! the herald angels sing, 

Glory to the new-born King! 

Kay sarap namang dinggin

'tong pamaskong awitin.

Peace on earth, and mercy mild, 

God and sinners reconciled.

Kapayapaang hangad

ay para sa 'ting lahat.

Joyful, all ye nations, rise, 

Join the triumph of the skies; 

Nagkakaisang bansa,

galak ng Manlilikha.

With th' angelic host proclaim, 

Christ is born in Bethlehem.

Ang pagsilang ni Kristo,

ipagdiwang sa mundo.

Hark! the herald angels sing, 

Glory to the new-born King!

Nag-aawitang kerubin,

tara, sabayan natin!

Christ, by highest heaven adored: 

Christ, the everlasting Lord; 

Magpuri sa Kaniya

at kamtin ang biyaya.

Late in time behold him come, 

Offspring of the favoured one. 

Daan ng kaligtasan

Biyaya ay kagalakan.

Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; 

Hail, th'incarnate Deity: 

Ang kaniyang pagsilang,

tunay na kinagiliwan.

Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, 

Jesus, our Emmanuel! 

Siya ay nananahan

dito sa sanlibutan.

Hark! the herald angels sing, 

Glory to the new-born King!

Ating ipagkapuri

ang kanyang pagkahari.

Hail! the heaven-born Prince of peace! 

Hail! the Son of Righteousness! 

Ang prinsipe'y itangi

Itaas, bigyang-puri.

Light and life to all he brings, 

Risen with healing in his wings 

Ilaw na mapayapa,

kay Hesus, makikita.

Mild he lays his glory by, 

Born that man no more may die: 

Pagbuhos ng biyaya,

siksik at parating na.

Born to raise the son of earth, 

Born to give them second birth. 

Mundo'y matatanglawan

ng ginhawang maalwan.

Hark! the herald angels sing,

Glory to the new-born King!

Halina't mag-awitan,

Siya'y pasalamatan.
