Hark the Herald Angels Sing

There are many Christmas hymns which celebrate the advent of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Many contain awe-inspiring lyrics requiring dynamic vocals to capture the full essence of the song. (Oh Holy Night, for example) Others such as Away in a Manger for example, describe the various events surrounding the event with child-like clarity. But for me the essential message of the birth of Christ is contained within a couple of powerful lines found in the hymn Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail, the incarnate deity
Pleased as Man with men to dwell,
Jesus, our Emmanuel.

You see Christmas is exactly that. The exact moment in time when the WORD became flesh and dwelt among us, HIS creation. This is the message being heralded by the Angels in the song.

This is the message we must herald to those around the globe who have yet to hear!

Merry CHRISTmas and keep singing!
