Congregational Singing
Tonight, you can be part of our concert. Brian will turn and direct you in singing part of our final, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing!”
Watch for the Baton!
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 hosts proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
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 are 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 us from the earth, born to give us a second birth.
Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn king!”
