It came upon a midnight clear that glorious song of old –
from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold – peace on the
earth – goodwill to men – from heaven’s all gracious king – the world in solemn
stillness lay to hear the angels sing.
Have you ever met a king of a country? I have not.
But I can imagine that were a king to visit my street, people would line
up along the curb to see him in all of his royalty, and would feel very special
indeed if the king himself reached over, bent down, and shook their hands.
This carol is full of just that sort of imagery.
The King of Kings – the gracious one – leaned towards man to
bring us hope, life, and peace.
And this leaning was followed by the angels bending to play
their harps in a beautiful melody that chimed in with God’s grace extended to
all.
And the world’s response was to lie still and listen.
Are you listening to your King and his angels as they bend
toward you, today?
It’s a glorious song
they’re singing and playing over you….
