What a wonderful Christmas Song this is. It makes me tingle to hear a choir singing it.
"Hark! the Herald Angels Sing"
Hark! the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born king;Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies;
With the angelic host proclaim, "Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born King.
Christ by highest heaven adored; Christ, the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come, Off spring of the Virgin's womb;
Veiled in flesh the God head see; Hail the Incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.
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 man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth.
Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the newborn King.
