Hark! the herald-angels sing
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #116 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the herald-angels sing,
Glory to the new-born 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 new-born King.
2 Christ, by highest heaven 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 new-born King.
3 Hail, the heaven-born Prince of peace!
Hail, the Sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Risen 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 new-born King. Topics: Angels Song at Nativity; Christ Prince of Peace; Christmas Hymns; The Son Christmas; Nativity, the ; Song Of the Angels; Peace On Earth; Prince of Peace Languages: English Tune Title: MENDELSSOHN

Hark! what mean those holy voices
Author: J. Cawood, 1775-1852 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #117 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Hark! what means those holy voices,
Sweetly sounding through the skies?

Which they chant in hymns of joy:
"Glory in the highest, glory,
Glory be to God most high!"

Loud our golden harps shall sound.

For your Prophet, Priest, and King.

Learn His name, and taste His joy;
Till in heaven ye sing before Him,
"Glory be to God most high!"

Of our great Redeemer's birth;

Till it cover all the earth. Topics: Adoration Of Jesus; Angels Song at Nativity; Christ Adoration of; Christmas Hymns; The Son Christmas; Nativity, the ; Jesus (See also Christ) Abiding; Song Of the Angels; Peace On Earth Languages: English Tune Title: UNSER HERRSCHER
Hark! what mean those holy voices
It came upon the midnight clear
Author: Dr. Edmund Sears, 1810-1876 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #118a (1917) Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King!"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world;
Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing,
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The words of peace they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
4 O ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,
With painful steps and slow:
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
O rest beside the weary road,
And hear the angels sing!
5 For lo! the days are hastening on
By prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendours fling,
And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing. Topics: Angels Song at Nativity; Christ Leading; Christmas Hymns; The Son Christmas; Nativity, the ; National Peace; Song Of the Angels; Peace On Earth; Peace National Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL

Angels, from the realms of glory
Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #121 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story,
Now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
2 Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
3 Sages, leave your contemplations,
Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations;
Ye have seen His natal star:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.
4 Saints, before the altar bending,
Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending
In His temple shall appear:
Come and worship,
Worship Christ, the newborn King.

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Hymnal: MHTB1917 #122 (1917) First Line: The first Nowell the angel did say Lyrics: 1 The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
3 And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went,
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest;
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay,
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
5 Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee,
And offered there in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense,
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel.
6 Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord;
That hath made heaven and earth of nought,
And with His Blood mankind hath bought.
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell,
Born is the King of Israel. Topics: Nowell, the first; Nowell, the first; Angels Song at Nativity; Christmas Hymns; The Son Christmas; Nativity, the Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOWELL

Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #123 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes!
The Saviour promised long;
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes! the prisoners to release,
Of sin's dread sickness healed;
The gates of brass before Him burst,
The iron letter yield.
3 He comes! the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure;
And with the treasures of His grace
To enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With Thy beloved name. Topics: Christ Prince of Peace; Christ Deliverer; Christ Incarnate; Christmas Hymns; Advent (See Second Coming) Of Christ; The Son Christmas; Deliverer, Christ our; Hosannas; Incarnation of Jesus; Prince of Peace; Prisoners, set free Languages: English Tune Title: BYZANTIUM
