  • Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

    The music is from the second chorus of a cantata by Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847) written in 1840 to commemorate the invention of printing. The words are from 1739 by Charles Wesley whose brother John founded the Methodist church.

    Quiz note: Mendelssohn had made it clear that his music was for secular use and Wesley specifically requested slow solemn music for his lyrics.

    Lyrics

    Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
    "Glory to the new born king!
    Peace on earth and mercy mild
    God and sinners reconciled".

  • Away in a Manger

    The first 2 verses were originally published in a Lutheran Sunday school book in 1885. Two years later James Murray published it as "Luther's Cradle Hymn" thus spawning the dichotomy that Luther created it. The words are usually considered American anonymous. Some credit the music to Murray while others think he merely harmonized the words of an old German folk song. The tune closely follows the Scottish song 'Flow Gently Sweet Afton".

    Lyrics

    Away in a manger
    No crib for his bed
    The little Lord Jesus
    Laid down his sweet head
    The stars in the heaven
    Looked down where he laid
    The little Lord Jesus
    asleep on the hay.
