L-Istorja ta' xi whud mill-kant tal-Milied
HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Charles Wesley kiteb 'l fuq minn tlett elef innu. Hark! The Herald Angels Sing hu wiehed minnhom.
Il-muzika ta' dan l-innu kienet miktuba minn Felix Mendelssohn fis-sena 1840 bhala tifkira ghal Johann Gutenberg u l-invenzjoni tieghu ta' l-istampar. Il-kliem taghha inkiteb mitt sena qabel, fis-sena 1739 minn Charles Wesley. Filwaqt li huh John, li waqqaf il-knisja Metodista, kien predikatur tajjeb, Charles kien jinqala' biex jikteb innijiet mimlija taghlim biex iqawwi l-fidi ta' dawk li jkunu ikkonvertew.
Kien Dr William Cummings li pogga l-kliem u l-muzika flimkien biex il-lum ghandna dan l-innu tal-Milied.
1. 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 host proclaim:
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
2. 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
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
3. 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
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
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.mp3
