I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (Part 3)
Echoing Scripture, Pastor Vance Havner said: I am a pilgrim and a stranger on the earth, but I am not an orphan.

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
Yes, Christmas is past, but I’m still singing this hymn. It’s based on this Scripture: Near Jesus’ birth in Bethlehem, there was a multitude of the heavenly host (angels) praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased!” (Luke 2:13-14) “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” is a Christmas …
