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 th’angelic host proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”

"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is an English Christmas carol that first appeared in 1739. The carol, based on Luke 2:14, tells of an angelic chorus singing praises to God. As it is known in the modern era, it features lyrical contributions from Charles Wesley and George Whitefield, two of the founding ministers of Methodism, with music of Felix Mendelssohn.

During my 6 years in the choir, we sang this at every Christmas concert.
The classic Christmas carols are part of my heritage.

Fur babies (like Chile above) are part of my current life and holiday celebrations.
