"Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is a Christmas carol written by Charles Wesley, the brother of John Wesley. It appeared in Hymns and Sacred Poems in 1739. The original opening line was "Hark! how all the welkin rings"; the version known today is the result of alterations by various hands. The most popular arrangement of the Mendelssohn tune for "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is probably that by David Willcocks (published 1961) which adds a descant for the third verse. It was also cited briefly in Tom Lehrer's song, "A Christmas Carol", satirizing the over-commercialization of the holiday: Hark the Herald Angels Sing is a famous Christmas song that can be heard in the background during The Ghost of Christmas Present segment in A Christmas Carol. Lyrics: Hark the Herald Angels sing Glory to the new born king Peace on Earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled Joy for all ye nations rise Join the triumph of the skies With anjelic hosts proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem Hark the Herald Angels sing Glory to the new born king Name: Hark The Herald Angels Sing Run Time: 6:19 Written By: Traditional, arr.

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing" is a song by some characters in 'Tis the Fifteenth Season.

The Herald Angels Sing" is a Christmas carol written by Charles Wesley, the brother of John Wesley. It appeared in Hymns and Sacred Poems in 1739. The original opening line was "Hark! how all the welkin rings"; the version known today is the result of alterations by various hands. The tune that is now used was composed by Felix Mendelssohn in 1840, as part of the cantata Festgesang ("Festival Song") honoring printer Johann Gutenberg and commemorating the invention of his printing press. The cantata was presented at the great festival held at Leipzig. Festgesang's second chorus, "Gott ist Licht" ("God is Light"), was adapted in 1855 by William Hayman Cummings. The most popular arrangement of the Mendelssohn tune for "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is probably that by David Willcocks (published 1961) which adds a descant for the third verse. The song is a staple in Christmastime movies and TV shows that carry a religious message to some degree, usually as a spirited finale: * It is the next-to-last song in the film It's a Wonderful Life. * It is sung by an off-screen choir at the end of the 1951 film A Christmas Carol a.k.a. Scrooge. * It is sung by the kids at the end of A Charlie Brown Christmas. It was also cited briefly in Tom Lehrer's song, "A Christmas Carol", satirizing the over-commercialization of the holiday: "Hark! The Herald Tribune sings," "Advertising wondrous things!"
