Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Christmas Tree - 2014

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!"

(Charles Wesley (1739))
