With just a few days until Christmas, here are some words to a very familiar and well-known Christmas carol--Hark! the Herald Angels Sing. These words have taken on a new meaning for me after studying about the incarnation of Christ and His coming to earth as a human being this past semester:

Verse 2:

"Christ, by highest Heav'n adored

Christ the everlasting Lord;

Late in time behold Him come,

Offspring of a virgin's womb.

Hail the incarnate Deity!

Pleased as man with men to dwell,

Jesus Our Immanuel!

Hark! the herald angels sing,

'Glory to the new-born King!'"
