‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’ (Amy Grant)

I would like it to be said of me that “he knew how to keep Christmas.” And Easter, too.

And so we come to Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, by Charles Wesley in 1739, sung by Amy Grant.

If Christ is not born, the world cannot be saved.

And if Christ be not risen, as St. Paul explained, then we can’t be risen, either.

Hence a Christmas hymn in September.
