Hark! The Herald Angels Sing – History & Lyrics
In 1855, English musician William H. Cummings adapted a section of Mendelssohn’s composition to fit the lyrics of “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” which was written by Charles Wesley more than a hundred years earlier. This combination of melody and lyrics has become the song as we know it today.
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 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 Offspring of a Virgin's womb: Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, Hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with man to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the new-born king" Hail the Heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Sun 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 new-born king"
