LYRICS: Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born 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: Hark! The herald angels sing Glory to the newborn King! 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 the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel: Hail the heav’n-born Prince of peace! Hail the Sun of Righteousness! Light and life to 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 the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth: (Charles Wesley and others) A Christmas Festival Based on the annual 'Christmas Festival' concerts at the Royal Albert Hall, John Rutter directs the Cambridge Singers, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and the award-winning Farnham Youth Choir alongside guest soloists Melanie Marshall, Clara Sanabras and Elin Manahan Thomas, for an unforgettable festival of Christmas music.
