Hark, the Herald Angel

Listening to Christmas music...

Brother C: "Momma, I like this song. It talks about, Hark, one of the angels at Jesus' birth."

"Who?"


"Hark. He sang at Jesus' birth."

"Son, there wasn't an angel named Hark. Hark means, to 'pay attention or listen'...so when it says 'Hark, the herald angels sing'...it means to listen, they are announcing his birth."

"Are you sure, his name wasn't Hark? This song says it was."

"No, baby, his name wasn't Hark...it was Gabrielle."

"Then why doesn't it say Gabrielle."

"I.Do.Not.Know."
