Tis the Season! Throughout the next few weeks, we will be sharing some of our favorite Christmas carols and hymns, as well as the their history. To kick things off, we start with Hark! The Herald Angels Sing written by Charles Wesley. This song first appeared in Wesleys Hymns and Sacred Poems in 1739. Over the years, other authors altered the lyrics, most notably George Whitefield. In 1855, William H. Cummings adapted the secular music, Festgesang (by Felix Mendelssoln) to fit with the words of Wesleys poem, thus giving us the song we have today.
