The Heavenly Host Praising God

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke 2:13-14 NKJV)

Day 19 of 25 Days of Christmas.  Did the angels sing? Wesley, Spurgeon and others think they did. Praising is closely associated with singing and some say the original language implies singing. Whether we speak it or sing it, give praise to God this Christmas for the gift of Jesus.

Pray today for Emmanuel College to proclaim Jesus as the Savior of the world, for students, staff and faculty to sing praises to God throughout the year, to be a joyful people and worshiping community.

Hark! the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth, and mercy mild
God and sinner reconciled."
(Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, vs.1)
