I have moved the following German translation here, as it does not seem to belong in the article. -- Chuck 18:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing has also been recently translated into German by Bernhard Stock (c) 2006: "Engel kündet nah und fern" M: Felix Mendelssohn T: Charles Wesley Dt.: © 2006 Bernhard Stock 4/4 F-Dur 1. Engel kündet nah und fern: Ehr' dem neu gebor'nen Herrn! Gottes Frieden allen künd't, die verlor'n in ihrer Sünd'. Laut der Engel Chor erklingt: "Freut euch Völker, jauchzt und singt! "Christ der Herr", so ruft mit Schall, "liegt zu Bethlehem im Stall!" Engel kündet nah und fern: Ehr' dem neu gebor'nen Herrn! 2. Christus, den die Himmel ehr'n, Er, der ew'ge Herr der Herrn! Von der Jungfrau auserkor'n, ward als Mensch uns heut gebor'n. Gott, der in den Himmeln thront, heut' im Fleische bei uns wohnt. Sohn der Magd aus Israel, Jesus Herr, Immanuel! Engel kündet nah und fern: Ehr' dem neu gebor'nen Herrn! 3. Heil dem Friedefürst der Welt, Sonne, die die Nacht erhellt! Licht und Leben Du uns schenkst, auf den Weg des Heiles lenkst! Deine Gnad' erschien, o Gott, und errettet uns vom Tod. Durch Dein Kommen wird zuteil allen Menschen ew'ges Heil! Engel kündet nah und fern: Ehr' dem neu gebor'nen Herrn! 4. Komm, Du Sehnsucht dieser Welt, steig herab vom Himmelszelt! Komm, Du Licht in dunkler Nacht und bezwing des Bösen Macht! Was verderbt durch Adams Sünd', wird geheilt durch dieses Kind! Neuer Adam, Jesus Christ, Du der Welt Erlöser bist! Engel kündet nah und fern: Ehr' dem neu gebor'nen Herrn!

[edit] Hark! as the last carol at the Bach Choir Family Carols concerts

I understand that Hark! The Herald Angels Sing is more often than not the last carol in the London Bach Choir's Family Carols Concerts. Would it be all right to add this into the article? If so, where can I find the reference?Yip1982 (talk) 08:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
