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 the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ by highest heav'n adored
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come
Offspring of a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail the heav'n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Son 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 newborn King!"

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
I once heard a Christmas Eve sermon where the pastor convinced me that Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is not only the greatest Christmas carol ever but pretty much the best song ever! It's both beautiful and theologically correct - and it captures the essence of Christmas and why it's such a time of joy. Here are the lyrics. Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas carols like these. It's a rare opportunity to worship openly while walking through Lowe's. And we hear these carols so often we don't really hear them anymore. Thanks for the reminder. Merry Christmas to Barry and the Barrytones!
