Christmas Song Countdown #4: Hark! The Herald Angels Sing

Growing up this was one of my favorite Christmas Carols.  I think it is partly because of A Charlie Brown Christmas, partly because of the tune and words being easy to remember, and partly becuase of the lyrics "God and sinners reconciled".  This song captures exactly what God intended  when He sent His one and only Son to earth to live an exemplary life for us, then to die and pay the penalty for our sins, and finally to conquer the grave and death so we who believe can see God in Heaven.

Attached today are two videos.  The first is the Charlie Brown Christmas final 5 minutes that includes Linus telling the Christmas Story and the gang singing a few stanzas of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing at the end.  The second video is the entire song with the first verse being hummed in the traditional "peanuts way" and the second verse is them singing.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas!
