A Christmas Homily
Virtually every period in human history is marked by a significant event,
one that people remember and use to mark a turning point in the lives
of men. Let us consider a few of them.
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
A Christmas Homily
A Bit of History
Originally penned by Charles Wesely in 1739. The song did not include the
“chorus” at the end, repeating the first line of the song. The first line was slightly
different from what we are used to. It proclaimed that the firmament rang with
glory to the King of Kings. There was no direct reference to angels in the original.
