Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see him; but in heaven, Set at God’s right hand on high; Where like stars his children crowned All in white shall wait around.
F. Mendelssohn	Hark the Herald	Jubilate Deo Choir & Pueri Cantores
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 son of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! the herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born King !
