Secular Radio...

Today our pastor pointed out something quite interesting. He commented on how he had been listening to a secular radio station that was playing Christmas music. As he was listening, what should come on but a common favorite, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. He chuckled to himself with the realization that the station, in the interest of tolerance, would never let him preach the words they were now playing over the airwaves. Read, and enjoy... Hark! The Herald Angels Sing 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 Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see Hail th' Incarnate Deity Pleased, as man with men to dwell Jesus, our Immanuel! Hark! the Herald Angels sing "Glory to the newborn King!" Hail! the Heav'n born Prince of Peace! Hail! the Sun 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!"
