Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King! Options 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. Today, we sing Wesley’s words to the best-known, joyous tune written by one, Felix Mendelssohn. But Charles Wesley’s words were sung to a somewhat gloomy melody. 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. The lyrics for ‘Hark The Herald Angels Sing’ were written by Methodist Charles Wesley in 1739, and they first appeared in the collection Hymns and Sacred Poems.
