Alvin, this song is called "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"
For the first verse. OK.
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 angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
[Dave:] You know, Simon and Theodore, let's sing it again
With "Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!" for the third verse. OK.
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"
[Dave:] Very good, boys
Let's sing it again! Yeah, let's sing it again!
