Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
New Age Orchestra and Chorus Lyrics

The song "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" by New Age Orchestra and Chorus is a classic Christmas carol that immediately brings to mind the joyful spirit of the holiday season. The song calls on listeners to pay attention to the angels singing the praises of the new born king, who brings peace on Earth and reconciliation between God and sinners. The carol praises the birth of Jesus Christ, and urges all nations to join in the triumph of the skies, celebrating the miracle that took place in Bethlehem.

The song was originally written by Charles Wesley in 1739, with the original title of "Hark! How All The Welkin Rings." Felix Mendelssohn later composed the melody for the carol in 1840. In its early days, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" was more somber and had a slower tempo, with a focus on repentance and Christian faith. However, the upbeat melody that Mendelssohn composed for the song soon became more popular and transformed the carol into the joyful, celebratory tune we hear today.

This song has since become one of the most widely-sung Christmas carols around the world, a staple of caroling, and a cherished part of holiday traditions. It is an affirmation of faith for many Christians, and remains incredibly popular among all genres and sects of Christianity. The song's simple yet powerful message of peace and joy continue to resonate with people of all ages and backgrounds.
