Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Words: Charles Wesley, 1739 · Tune "Mendelssohn," 1840, adapt. W. H. Cummings, 1855 · Public domain

Change the key and every chord below moves with it — useful when a singer needs it lower, or when the worship leader modulates and you need it now. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for.
