So…today’s selection is nothing out of the ordinary or unusual, but it is my favorite traditional Christmas carol. Plus, it’s featured in one of my favorite Christmas shows, “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”
On a side note (unrelated but ironic and funny), my great-grandfather’s name is Charlie Brown. For the record, he looked NOTHING like the character in the cartoon, nor did he have the same personality. He was a hard working, feisty farmer who used salty language and chewed snuff. He gave all his great-grandchildren nicknames, and mine was “Twinkle Toes” because I used to run on my tippy-toes. 
Anyway, back to the music. I’ll post the lyrics below, and they really are self-explanatory, but incredibly inspiring and full of the Truth.
Lyrics:
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!"
