Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (archives) is one of the recommended songs to teach as part of the D&C Primary Songs for Come Follow Me list. It’s really nice to be able to teach a classic Christmas carol and LDS hymn when you get the chance as it’s a song they’ll cherish for life!
This is just one of the MANY Christmas Primary Songs to pick from, though. It’s so tough to pick just one! One thing I like to do is include the Primary along with the audience or the Ward choir as I think it really creates a beautiful dynamic, and this song would be great for either combination!
To help you pick your songs for the year, and even wade through Christmas song selections, head over to this post where I tried my best to divide all the Suggested Come Follow Me Songs by Year to avoid repeats and cover as many songs as possible!

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing Lyrics

You can find Hark the Herald Angels Sing sheet music here.
Verse 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 th’angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem!
Chorus:
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King!
Verse 2:
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.
