Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
Hail the Sun of righteousness!
Light and life to all He brings,
Ris’n with healing in His wings:
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.

Come, Desire of nations, come!
Fix in us Thy humble home:
Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring seed,
Bruise in us the serpent’s head;
Adam’s likeness now efface,
Stamp Thine image in its place:
Final Adam from above,
Reinstate us in Thy love.

Multitude of the Heavenly Army
Joining the Angel and Praising God
Luke 2:13 and 14 say, “Suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying, Glory in the highest places to God, and on earth peace among men of His good pleasure. ” The exultation of the angels, who were excited by the birth of the Savior for man’s salvation (see 15:7), resulted in their praising God. According to 2:14, the coming of the Savior rendered glory to God in the heavens and brought peace to men on earth. In verse 14 “men of His good pleasure” are men chosen by God according to His good pleasure (Eph. 1:5).
The praise of the heavenly army has two aspects: glory in the highest places to God and peace among men on earth. The salvation of the Man-Savior has accomplished these two matters. It has brought glory to God in the highest and peace to men on earth. Christ is for God’s glory and man’s peace.

Message 6 (LSM)
III. CHRIST BEING THE MINGLINGOF GOD AND MAN
The incarnation of Jesus means more than the birth of a Savior. For four thousand years after Adam was created, God was God, and man was man. Yes, man had something to do with God, and God sometimes made contact with man, yet the two remained separate. However, when Christ was born as a man, a strange and wonderful event took place—God was brought into man and thereby formed a mingling of divinity with humanity. Jesus was God and He was man; He was a God-man.
“In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God.... and the Word became flesh” (John 1:1, 14). Never in the history of the universe had such a thing taken place. You should be very impressed with the great significance of the incarnation. It was so great that it caused an army of excited angels to burst forth from the heavens and praise God (Luke 2:8-14). Four thousand years after man’s fall, God became Jesus (Jehovah our Savior) and Emmanuel (God with us). Hallelujah! God with us! Christ’s incarnation inspired Charles Wesley to write a wonderful hymn. The first two stanzas follow.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King;
Peace on earth, and mercy mild;
God and sinners reconciled. ”
Joyful, all ye nations, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With angelic hosts proclaim,
“Christ is born in Bethlehem. ”
Christ, by highest heav’n adored,
Christ, the everlasting Lord:
Late in time behold Him come,
Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see,
Hail th’ incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell,
Jesus our Immanuel.
