Familiar version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born 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 new born King

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled

Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
Christ is born in Bethlehem

Hark the herald angels sing
Glory to the new born King

So, when you hear the beautiful sounds put forth by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir listen, listen to the words.

You just think these are the hymns you know from old...but they are carrying the message that the mormon church is NOT the church of Christ, and specifically not the church of the Cross.

Familiar version of Hark the Herald Angels Sing [hymn above]

LDS version:

Hark! the Herald Angels Sing, no. 209

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!

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.

OH MY HECK!!!!! We changed "With angelic" to "With th’angelic." And "Risen" to "Ris’n."

We must not be Christians because of that, and that alone.

Come on, there certainly are much more valid compaints against our church then this.

But remember, "when you hear the beautiful sounds put forth by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir listen, listen to the words." They just might be the same ones you are familiar with.

Holy Holy Holy has been changed to eliminate the line in the first verse about the Trinty...

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing

“god in his glory blessed diety”

The original words were written as

“GOD IN THREE PERSONS, HOLY TRINITY”

If the mormons are Christians then why would the MAIN mormon choir under the umbrella of the president of the mormons,so famous and celebrated all overf the world, not boldly and Christian-like sing

“GOD IN THREE PERSONS HOLY TRINITY”

as all REAL Christians have always done...
