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.

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 angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"
Christ by highest heav'n adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a Virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail the incarnate Deity,
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.
Hark! The herald angels sing,
“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 sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the new-born king"
Hark! The herald angels sing

Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
