But the angel
said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great
joy for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.”
- Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)
Sometimes
joy simply can’t be contained. Angels We Have Heard on High captures
that kind of joy—the kind that spills over, that demands to be shared, that
echoes far beyond where it started. The angels didn’t whisper their message.
They rejoiced. They proclaimed. They celebrated the arrival of the Savior with
unrestrained praise.
What’s striking is that this joy wasn’t reserved for a select few. The announcement wasn’t made in a palace or a temple, but out in the open, to shepherds in the fields. The message was meant to be heard, carried, and shared.
Joy is contagious.
When we experience true joy—the kind rooted in hope and redemption—it changes how we move through the world. It lifts our eyes. It softens our hearts. It reminds us that God is still at work, even when life feels heavy.
Sometimes we treat joy like a fragile thing, something that might disappear if we hold it too loosely. But this hymn reminds us that joy grows when it’s expressed. Praise has a way of multiplying what God has already placed within us.
Let's celebrate, not quietly, but boldly. Let's join the song of heaven in our own imperfect ways, sharing joy, extending hope, and pointing others toward the reason for our praise.
