Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Jon Reddick performs a classic Christmas hymn, 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,' celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. The song proclaims the angels' announcement of peace on earth and the reconciliation between God and sinners. It highlights Jesus as the Prince of Peace and Son of Righteousness, who brings light, life, and healing. The lyrics emphasize the purpose of His birth: to overcome death and offer spiritual rebirth to humanity. This rendition maintains the traditional carol's joyful and reverent tone, focusing on the incarnation and its redemptive significance.
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!"
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!"
