Jeremy Riddle's rendition of the classic Christmas hymn "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, the newborn King. The lyrics proclaim peace on earth, the reconciliation of God and sinners, and the incarnation of Christ, who is adored by heaven and hailed as the Prince of Peace. The song emphasizes the purpose of Jesus' birth: to bring light, life, healing, and the promise of second birth or spiritual renewal. It is a joyful declaration of the gospel message, inviting all nations to rise and join the angelic host in glorifying the Savior born in Bethlehem.

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!"
And 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 th'incarnate Deity
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell
Jesus our Emmanuel
And hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hail the heav'nly 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
And hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
