Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
I was reading up on these lovely words from the well loved Christmas Hymn by Charles Wesley, and found an interesting persepective on this imagry from a sermon given by a Rev Peter Edwards of the Malvern Priory, United Kingdom. Click here to go to the Priory's website, read and enjoy.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
