Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"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
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hail the heaven, Prince of Peace
Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Risen with His healing 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
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King"
The lyrics to Aaron Neville's rendition of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" are a triumphant declaration of the birth of Jesus Christ, calling on people all over the world to celebrate the occasion. The opening lines of the lyrics, "Hark! The herald angels sing, glory to the newborn King," convey a sense of awe and reverence, as if the angels themselves are proclaiming the wonderful news of Christ's birth. The second line, "peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled," speaks to the Christian belief that the birth of Jesus Christ brought an end to the division between God and humanity caused by original sin.
The chorus of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" uses repetition to drive home the message of the song, encouraging listeners to join in the celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. The lines "Joyful, all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies" evoke a sense of unity among all people, regardless of their nationality, as they come together to honor the birth of the Savior.
