Geocache Description:


Sing with the angels as you solve this little puzzle, no matter the season!  Once in a while, sing as you hike near woods & water. Use common sense: don't go to given coordinates. Remember, the SOLVED coords needn't be within two miles of the given or actual coords. Christmas can remind us that peace and mercy are among our fondest hopes. Every good wish is my hope for you. "Choose KINDNESS!" O'er all the Earth, make it reality. December--darkest month--a wonderful time to let your love shine on family, friend, stranger. Each day, thereafter, let your love wax stronger until it rivals the subject of the UMC's Hymn 645.

Hark the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King,
peace on earth, and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled!
Joyful, all ye nations rise
join the triumph of the skies;
with th' angelic host proclaim,
"Christ is born in Bethlehem!"
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"

Christ, by highest heaven adored;
Christ, the everlasting Lord;
late in time behold him come,
offspring of a virgins womb
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
hail th' incarnate Deity,
pleased with us in flesh to dwell,
Jesus our Emmanuel.
Hark the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"

Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace
Hail the Sun of Righteousness!
Light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings
Mild he lays his glory by
born that we no more may die,
born to raise us from the earth,
born to give us second birth.
Hark! the herald angels sing,
"Glory to the new born King!"
