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!" Christ by highest heaven 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!" Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Son 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 Hark! The herald angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!"

about

This December, we are so excited to share with you two Christmas songs in two versions, one English and one multilingual. Our multicultural setting in Israel inspired us to re-think two classic carols that we love. We also brought some of our friends along to join in the fun :)

An upbeat "Hark The Herald Angels Sing" morphs into Middle Eastern rhythms in the third verse, and the English-Hebrew version features Or Alon.

"Silent Night" is jazzy yet effortless, featuring Rasha & Rani Saba in the English-Hebrew-Arabic version.

We pray you will have a wonderful holiday season as we celebrate together the birth of the Messiah!
Peace and Love,
Anthony & Irene
