Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glory to the newborn King
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinners reconcile
Joyful, all ye nations, rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Glory to the newborn King
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 suns of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Christ, by highest heaven adored
Christ, the everlasting Lord
Late in time behold him come
Offspring of the virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail, the incarnate deity
Pleased as Man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Emmanuel
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King
Glory to the newborn King
The song "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is a Christmas carol whose lyrics were written by English poet and musician Charles Wesley. The music was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1840, but it was not until William H. Cummings adapted Mendelssohn's music to Wesley's lyrics in 1855 that the carol became popular.
The first stanza of the song opens with the announcement of the joyous news of the birth of Christ. The "herald angels" are the messengers of this good news, calling on all to "rise" and rejoice with them. The "newborn King" is a reference to Jesus, who has come to bring peace to the world and reconcile God with sinners.
The second stanza continues this theme, calling Jesus the "Prince of Peace" and the "Sun of righteousness." He is the source of "light and life" for all and has come to heal and save humanity from death. The line "born that man no more may die" is a reference to the idea that Jesus came to die for our sins so that we may have eternal life.
The final stanza emphasizes that Jesus is not only a human being but also the "incarnate deity," or God in the flesh. He is "Emmanuel," which means "God with us," and is worshipped as the "everlasting Lord" by the angels in heaven. The carol ends with a declaration of glory to the newborn King.

@@Liatsukii we all came from some of the first ancestors of modern bacteria. This was when the primordial atmosphere was virtually oxygen free so there were only anaerobic heterotrophic bacteria which lived at around 4 billion years ago. Since then, the preponderance of life on earth (at around 3 billion years of the existence of organisms) were microscopical and bacteria and archaea were the dominant form of life. Following the laws of evolution, those microscopic organisms have evolved over billions of years into out modern society of a wide variety of life. There I hope I answered your question. In short, god isn't real. But I can still enjoy Christmas
