Oodles of Christmas music, songs, and beautiful and touching carols exist, but none has captured my heart more than “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” I checked a few lists, and this triumphant, happy song makes the top 20 Christmas songs.
The theology in the hymn is crystal clear, and my heart rejoices to hear and sing it. The imagery of angels singing is not hard to visualize. The story told within the verses is joyful and masterful. I believe the words give us and the angels reasons to sing. As I studied the words, the truth within the song thrilled my heart and still do to this day! It holds a high status in my heart and is my favorite Christmas carol. It is theology rich. See if you agree~
God sent Jesus to earth to reconcile us with God.
All the nations rejoiced at His coming.
The angels proclaimed His birth.
Jesus is the highest and all supreme God, born of a virgin.
He deserves our devotion and allegiance.
The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit were all present at His conception and birth.
HE IS WITH US.
He is the epitome of hope because He brings life to all who accept Him.
For those who accept Him, death is just a passage to the best life.
He is PEACE, He is RIGHTEOUS, He is LIGHT and LIFE.
He put His glory aside to come to earth as a humble babe.
Those who know Him, one day will rise to reign with Him. And lastly…
All glory, any amount, should be directed, and freely given to Him.
HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING
Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King Peace on earth and mercy mild God and sinners reconciled Joyful, all ye nations, rise Join the triumph of the skies With angelic host proclaim Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King
Christ, the everlasting Lord Late in time, behold him come Offspring of the Virgin’s womb Hail the Flesh, the God Head Hail the incarnate Deity Pleased as man with man to dwell Jesus, our Emmanuel! Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King
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 sons of earth Born to give them second birth Hark! the herald angels sing Glory to the new-born King
“Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests’.” Luke 2:13-14
