Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing es un himno navideño que apareció por primera vez en el siglo XVIII. La letra fue escrita por Charles Wesley en 1739 y la melodía fue adaptada de Felix Mendelssohn en 1840. Originalmente, Mendelssohn compuso la melodía para celebrar la invención de la imprenta por Johannes Gutenberg, y se pretendía que la melodía fuera secular. Sin embargo, el poder expresivo de la música se consideró adecuado para el texto de Wesley ... cuando fueron combinados por William H. Cummings en 1855. Ver más [+]

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 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 the virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; hail the incarnate De-i-ty
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel
Hark the herald angels sing, "Glory to the new born 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 new born King"
