HARK!!

HARK! 

What a great December word!

Listen! Listen carefully.

Look back. Pay close attention. Heed. 

The ones in Biblical times who were heralds of the birth of Christ were announcers of the birth of the newborn King.....Jesus!

Maybe we need to herald this news more today on this Advent Sunday!

Herald. (Announce) Harken.(Listen Carefully.) Heed. (Do it)

Maybe even Click here & hum along with the words........... 

"Hark the Herald Angels Sing" my favorite carol!

Hark!” The herald angels sing, “Glory to the new-born king.” 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—. Hark! The herald angels sing....... 

Glory to the new-born king!

Hark for sure!

GRAMMARIANS GUIDE TO ADVENT VOCAB

I plan to keep on keeping focused. Scaling back. Paring down. 

Gerunds, infinitives, nouns, verbs, (both transitive and intransitives) are all forms of speech I have been using as I continue to "Hark" during my Advent Quiet Times this year!

HARK!---normally an intransitive verb has become for me an exclamation in all CAPS---

an interjection for listen up and pay attention!

This Advent season I'm harking. (present participle of the verb hark) I'm paying attention to God's word and joyfully expectant of all He has for me.

BEHOLD---another interjection for this time of expectant waiting for a coming of the king.

No matter how Christian grammarians say it or what part of speech they use.....

.....to hark and behold Jesus is perfect for this Advent!
