Hark The Herald Angels Sing
Matt Maher 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;
With angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
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"
Hail! the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail! the Son 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 newborn King"
Matt Maher's adaptation of the classic hymn Hark the Herald Angels Sing brings to light the message of joy and salvation that the birth of Christ represents. The hymn starts by calling out to the listener by saying "Hark!" and then inviting them to join the angelic choir in proclaiming "Glory to the newborn King." The message of peace and mercy that Christ's birth represents is emphasized through the lyrics "Peace on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled," which describes Christ's role as the bringer of peace and uniter of God and man.
In the next stanza, the hymn highlights Christ's divinity and humanity with lyrics that describe Him as the "everlasting Lord" and "incarnate Deity." The phrase "Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see" refers to the idea that Christ was fully God and fully man, a concept that can be difficult to comprehend. The use of the word "Emmanuel," which means "God with us," emphasizes this point further and underscores Christ's willingness to "dwell" with humanity.
The final stanza of the hymn describes Christ's role as the "Prince of Peace" and "Son of Righteousness." The lyrics "Born that man no more may die" speaks to the idea that through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, believers have the hope of eternal life. Overall, Maher's adaptation of Hark the Herald Angels Sing reinforces the message of joy and salvation that the birth of Christ represents.

@obsessedbuffalo
1. Eis dos anjos a harmonia,
Cantam glória ao novo Rei.
Paz aos homens e alegria,
Paz com Deus e a Santa Lei.
Ouçam! Povos exultantes
Erguem salmos triunfantes,
Aclamando ao Senhor
Nasce Cristo, o Redentor!
Toda a terra e anjos seus
Cantem glória ao Homem Deus!
2. Cante o povo resgatado:
Glória ao Príncipe da Paz,
Pois o Cristo revelado,
Vida e luz ao mundo traz.
Nasce pra que ressurjamos,
Vive para que vivamos,
Rei, profeta e Salvador,
Louvem todos ao Senhor.
Toda a terra e anjos seus
Cantem glória ao Homem Deus!
