Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

12/14/19

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."
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Christ, by highest heav'n adored:
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the favored one.
Veil'd in flesh, the Godhead see;
Hail, th'incarnate Deity:
Pleased, as man, with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel!
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the newborn King!"

Hail! the heav'n 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 newborn King!"

 

Songs are an important thing in our lives. They are a part of commercials, movies (background music) holidays and in our praise to God.

As Christians, we have a special reason to sing Christmas songs, they are about the birth of the man that died for our sins. This one is about the birth announcement. Notice what it says and ask yourself these questions.

1. Do we give GLORY to our King only in songs of His birth? Or every day of our life?

2. Have you and God reconciled the status of your eternal resting place?

3. Do you along with the angelic host proclaim that Jesus is the Son of God?

4. Do you recognize Jesus as part of the Godhead and hail Him as your King?

5. Is He your Prince of peace, the Son of Righteousness?

6. Do you give glory to that newborn King, Jesus Christ?

7. Most important of all is have you accepted Him as your personal Savior?
