"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 newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n 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 newborn King!"
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n 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!"
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
Religious Music presents a traditional carol that has become a staple of Christmas worship and secular holiday music alike. The piece, often associated with the 18th-century hymn by Charles Wesley, is performed here in an English language recording that emphasizes its melodic clarity and spiritual resonance. As a work within the broader canon of religious and choral repertoire, it serves as a timeless example of the genre's ability to convey themes of divine revelation and celebration. The recording captures the essence of the melody without relying on specific historical performance dates, allowing the music to stand as a universal expression of festive devotion. Its enduring popularity stems from its simple yet profound structure, making it accessible to audiences ranging from congregational choirs to general listeners seeking holiday comfort.
