#207 "It Came upon the Midnight Clear"

I know I keep writing that many of these Christmas hymns are my favorite, but today's song is actually one that I've sung all of my life but I don't consider it a favorite.  However, this morning I was reading about two additional verses written by the author that I thought apply to today's world:

"Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!"   

I think our world needs to "hush the noise" and "hear the angels sing"!
