Hark the Herald Angels Sing

I was disappointed in the hymn selection Sunday so this morning I have been listening to carols to get me more in the holiday mood.  I like this presentation of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," written by Charles Wesley, brother of John Wesley, founder of the Methodist Church.   It first appeared in 1739.  George Whitefield changed the first couplet and the music came from a cantata by Felix Mendelssohn. Wesley wrote thousands of hymns, many of which are still popular today.  I listened to some that I don't remember hearing

 (Note - I have recently discovered that after "Hark, the Herald Angels Sing" you can reach an entire concert by the Celtic Women)
