Christmas Post--Hark! the Herald Angels Sing

Anna, from Barefoot Arrow Song, said that this is one of her favorite Christmas carols. I love it, and think it is simply beautiful; and it's full of real, solid theology, which is always a plus :) So, without further ado,

A little child

a shining star

a stable rude,

the door ajar.

Yet in that place

so crude, forlorn,

The Hope of all

the world was born.
