"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!"
-Yesterday I was listening to clips of BarlowGirl's Christmas album (coming September 23rd) on itunes and their song "Angelic Proclamation (Medley)" suprised me. It seems like a mix of different songs and the one I heard was "Hark the Hearld Angels Sing." When I was little this was one of my least favorite christmas songs as I didn't really like many songs that were not in minor keys or were made up of piano arrangements. Needless to say I had never really appreciated the beauty of "Hark the Hearld Angels Sing" until I realized yesterday that it was one of my favorite christmas songs! It captures the spirit of Christmas perfectly!
It may seem odd that I am speaking of Christmas in September but I can not wait until December! This Christmas album may make the Christmas season come four months early for me!
