Hark! the Herald Angels Sing
King's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everything seems to go wrong
Somebody knows when the shadows
Need chasing away with a song
Somebody knows when you’re lonely
Tired, discouraged and blue
Somebody wants you to know Him
And know that He dearly loves you
Somebody cares when you’re tempted
And your mind grows dizzy and dim
Somebody cares when you’re weakest
And farthest away from Him
Somebody grieves when you’re fallen
You are not lost from His sight
Somebody waits for your coming
And He’ll drive the gloom from your night
Somebody loves you when weary
Somebody loves you when strong
Always is waiting to help you
He watches you, one of the throng
Needing His friendship so holy
Needing His watch, care so true
His name? We call His name Jesus
He loves everyone, He loves you

God bless you all. I’ve been a believer in Christ my whole life. I prayed almost every night, but haven’t been to church seriously in many years. Tonight I stumbled upon this song on tv. It’s helped me renew my relationship with Christ. Whoever you are, wherever you are please know that you are loved. Peace and all the best for 2022.
