Letra de
Hark The Herald Angels Sing

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing é um hino de Natal que surgiu no século XVIII. A letra foi escrita por Charles Wesley em 1739, e a melodia foi adaptada por Felix Mendelssohn em 1840. Originalmente, Mendelssohn compôs a melodia para comemorar o inventário de Johannes Gutenberg da prensa móvel, e a melodia tinha uma intenção secular. No entanto, a força expressiva da música foi considerada adequada para o texto de Wesley quando eles foram unidos por W ... illiam H. Cummings em 1855. Ver mais [+]

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"
