Song Meaning of “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” by Kevin Kern
The holiday season brings a message of joy and hope with the classic carol, ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.’ As the carol begins, the lyrics bustlingly proclaim, “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Glory to the newborn King”. These words are filled with reverence for the coming of our lord and savior, Jesus Christ. In these words lies the promise of renewal, faith and spiritual sustenance; a vision of relief and a chance to start again.
Moving along, the carol then sings of joy and peace, reminding us to “Peace on Earth, and mercy mild/God and sinners reconciled”. These lines suggest the world around us when divine love reigns, a time in which we seek out healing and understanding. Seeking out We are given the opportunity to bridge the gap between humanity and the divine, building a community which brings pleasure and radiance to all.
Finally, the carol joyously proclaims the birth of a glorious savior by thanking God for His understanding and kindness, crying out “Joyful, all ye nations, rise/Join the triumph of the skies”. This is a call for all to rise above their brokenness and honor the divine coming of Jesus, to partake in the beauty and to renew their love. This is an invitation to look beyond what lies before us, to embrace the possibilities of a brighter future and to spread the message of joy and peace.
