Hark the Herald Angels Sing
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!"
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, the Godhead see;
Hail, th'incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail! the heav'n 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!"
Another song I liked from my youth. I do not believe I have sang this song in a church meeting for at least 30 years. I recall Ed Marks calling this hymn in a winter training meeting back in the 1980's (I think). When Brother Lee took the podium he asked him why he called a "Christmas song" to sing (in December) and had a few more words to add to it. I don't recall if Ed had an answer or not, but WL sent a clear message throughout the recovery to don’t do that, humiliating EM in the process. Nevertheless, this is still one of my favorite hymns. It was written in 1739 by Charles Wesley.
The link I chose from youtube is one of many. I just picked that one.
