Charles Wesley
The year was 1739
The year was 1739
Charles Wesley was a new Christian convert.
To show his exuberance of joy,
especially in this Christmas Season,
he wrote…
“Hark, how all the welkin rings,
“Glory to the King of Kings;
In welkin Wesley spoke of the regions of the air, or the vault of Heaven.
That which illuminates all the earth and turns every eye Heavenly towards the sky,
is that very creation which proclaims, “glory to the King of Kings”.
It was the year 1753 when a preaching friend of Wesley
George Whitfield changed that first line to,
named George Whitfield changed "welkin” to “angels sing”,
thus giving us passed down through generations:
“Hark the Herald Angels Sing”,
Bringing our voices and attention
to both to the Heavenly lights and the glorious gospel spoken that first Christmas night.
As such, Hark The Herald Angels Sing, is a song of proclamation,
It is a song of the light turning on in the soul.
It’s a song of glorious truths of salvation which must be told.
“Hark The Herald Angels Sing”, is a song which begins with Hark or rather, listen.
It draws attention to a war within during this busy season.
A war for what on this day
Will get our ear, our utmost and deserve our undivided attention.
How will we spend this day the Lord has made
This the day of salvation.
What will be your story?
In the testimony of our lives?
And as another Christmas passes by,
To whom and to what, do you give glory.
Will you join in the angels song?
Or lost in fables and comercial idols will you hurry to move along?
Christmas Glory
It’s Christmas time.
And of it’s grandeur,
“glory” is a word used to describe.
The fun, the love, the splendor...
But, What is it I wonder?
What is the glory of Christmas,
What causes the celebration
For what purpose do the lights shine so bright,
For whom do we hang the decorations?
Our eyes take sight of the glowing Christmas lights.
Red, Green, Silver, and gold,
Flashing signs made beautiful - a sight to behold.
Yet in the rush and clutter, hearts are found cold,
Blinded eyes make deaf ears,
