Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

From Christianity Today:

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 the angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem:
Hark! the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King.

The carol we now know as "Hark! the herald angels sing" did not start life as such, and required at least four people to bring it to its current form. [more about the carol]
