Mondays are for music: 'Hark! The Herald Angels Sing'

Some of the theologically richest songs are Christmas carols. The incarnation of Christ has elicited some great lyrics from Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts and others. Wesley's "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" may be my favorite of all. Of many profound lines in Wesley's hymn about the humble act of God the Son becoming a man, consider these:

Mild, He lays His glory by,
Born that man no more may die,
Born to raise the sons of earth,
Born to give them second birth.
