So I'm walking through a shopping area... and have heard the radio... Christmas music without Christ and the Nativity? Empty. Its like tens of thousands of people cheering in a stadium, but there are no players on the field. Like serving all the great complimentary dishes but no turkey on Thanksgiving. Its all sweetness and sugar, icing and topping but nothing substantial at the base. This secular Christmas is a moral and spiritual flop.
Praise be to God for sending His only Son to save sinners!
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 the 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 a Virgin's womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with man 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
Ris'n 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!"
