One thing I like about this time of year, are the carols. Some of them are so full of Scriptural truth, and even present the gospel. Take for instance these words from Hark the Herald Angels Sing by Charles Wesley:
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!”
Christ, by highest Heav’n adored;
Christ the everlasting Lord;
Late in time, behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail th’incarnate Deity,
Pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
“Glory to the newborn King!”
What great words to sing about our Lord and King! May the carols at this of year minister to you and help to turn our hearts to Him who came to reconcile us to the Father.
