Hark the herald angels sing
"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 the angelic host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn 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 heav'n-born Prince of peace!
Hail the Son of Righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n 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

They have the voice of angels. A fitting song to sing. I was listening to this and then realised "Celtic Women... They're the ones who sing Tir na Nog, which I loved so much!" Simply wonderful!

@olajordansgirlk712

They truly sound beautiful. I imagine this is how the angels sing.

Exactly what I think when I listen to them.

@RandallvanOosten-ln5wf

Often people do not fully realize the depth of the theology of Christmas carols. This is one of those that is both thrilling to the heart and expresses the glory of the Incarnation.

@sophiesmith5922

Carols written in the midst of true revival

@lesleyvandervaart8359

Perfectly said ❤

@melodyngaihte-kw4yy

Amen 🙏🙏🙏

@nancyharman4795

After listening to what passes for Christmas music nowadays on the radio, I come to YouTube to hear the real thing! As a child, I memorized lyrics; as a 60-something, I'm enthralled with the sheer depth of meaning. Celtic Woman does exquisite justice to the beauty of the carol! 😺💕🐾
