Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Prolific hymn writer
Charles Wesley, who helped his brother John begin the Methodist Church,
wrote the original words to 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing' in 1739 as a
Christmas hymn that was published that year in a book called Hymns and
Sacred Poems. The first two lines were: "Hark, how the welkin [an old
English word for heaven] rings/Glory to the king of kings." But in 1753,
Wesley's friend and co-worker George Whitfield changed those lines to
the ones we know today: "Hark! The herald angels sing/glory to the
newborn king."
The song was
originally sung to the tune of 'Christ the Lord is Risen Today'. In
1840, Felix Mendelssohn composed a cantata called 'Festgesang' (Festival
Song) to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Gutenberg printing
press. The tune that Mendelssohn wrote for that occasion is the one that
organist William Hayman Cummings used in 1855 to arrange the lyrics for
'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing', resulting in the song that people are
familiar with today.
'Hark! The Herald
Angels Sing' tells the story of the event recorded in the Bible-after
Jesus Christ was born on the first Christmas an angel appeared in the
sky to announce Christ's birth and shortly thereafter was joined by a
huge amount of other angels singing out praises.
Fun Fact:
At the end of the
popular TV special, A Charlie Brown Christmas, which has aired during
every Christmas season since 1965, the Peanuts characters all sing
'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.'
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 th'angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"

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 th'incarnate Deity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.

Born to give them second birth.

Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the woman's conqu'ring Seed,
Bruise in us the serpent's head.
Now display Thy saving power,
Ruined nature now restore;
Now in mystic union join
Thine to ours, and ours to Thine.

Adam's likeness, Lord, efface,
Stamp Thine image in its place:
Second Adam from above,
Reinstate us in Thy love.
Let us Thee, though lost, regain,
Thee, the Life, the inner man:
O, to all Thyself impart,
Formed in each believing heart.

Prairie Fashion Queen
So we are little confused as to the season.....my teen daughter said, "Mom, it is just totally wrong to be wearing earmuffs and sunglasses together." So are we in summer or winter time here in ND???? The sun was shining brightly but it was very deceiving only about 12 degrees. So mom had the best of the two worlds. So maybe I'm not fashion Queen of ND but what can I say? ;P

It was our cue to add a few warm-you-to-your-toes dishes to our
weekly menus. There's nothing like something bubbly and baked to
chase away the chill of the day.
