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 th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new-born King!

I heard that the Peanuts version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing (the oooh choir part) from “A Charlie Brown Christmas” will be played while Joshy reads the Christmas Mailtime poem on the Blue’s Clues & You Christmas & Hanukkah special premiering soon on Nickelodeon.

“Hark! I hear mailboxes sing,
A song that can mean just one thing.
O Merry! O Joy! O Holiday Cheer!”

- to be continued until the special premieres on Nickelodeon


I am literally going to scream and faint when the Peanuts version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing - oooh choir part starts playing and Joshy starts reading the Christmas Mailtime poem!!
