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 th’angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem:
Hark! the herald-angels sing
Glory to the new-born King.

Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord,
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of aVirgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail th’incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald-angels sing
Glory to the new-born King.

Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun 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 new-born King.

“God and sinners reconciled”
The wonders of the gospel of Jesus Christ. A perfect obedience, a sinless life, a sin atoning death and a glorious resurrection.
“It is finished” Free salvation

God bless you all. I’ve been a believer in Christ my whole life. I prayed almost every night, but haven’t been to church seriously in many years. Tonight I stumbled upon this song on tv. It’s helped me renew my relationship with Christ. Whoever you are, wherever you are please know that you are loved. Peace and all the best for 2022.

Not Christmas without Carols from Kings!

[pradeepgustuv]

Hymns and British seem to be synonymous to each other. Beautiful Christmas Carol.

I believe the Lord Jesus Christ is pleased!!!

As a Catholic, I have a very soft spot in my heart for high church Anglicanism. In a way, you guys appreciate the appropriate form of Mass more than most modern Catholics. Merry Christmas to my brothers and sisters in Christ!

Whether you believe in God or not, can we all agree to just love each other and to make this planet better than ever?

Such a beautiful song I'm sure the angels in heaven are singing this much in heaven to the Lord.
