Music is the language of Angels

Angels are many things—messengers, guides, and encouragers, to name a few. But above all, they are protectors.

In a world that feels increasingly violent, unstable, and just plain unpleasant, many of us feel vulnerable. We feel anxious and upset and unsafe. At times, we need reminders that we are protected by powerful, invisible hands.

Music—the very language of the angels—is a wonderful way to receive that reminder, and to calm our frazzled nerves as we realize that we are watched over. From centuries-old-hymns to modern pop songs, humankind has been singing of our invisible guardians for much of our history.

And it is for good reason that we do. When we sing of angels—or simply listen to these songs—we not only give ourselves an emotionally comforting reminder of their presence, but we draw them to ourselves, as well.

If you’re feeling uneasy with the state of the world, lend an ear to these 5 angel songs that will protect you.

"Angels from the Realms of Glory"
“Angels from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o'er all the earth;”

Written by Scottish Poet James Montgomery and first printed in the Sheffield Iris on Christmas Eve of 1816, this Christian hymn is a beautiful reminder of the ability of angels to proclaim good news—something we all need.

Angels from the Realms of Glory tells the story of angels singing of the birth of Jesus Christ—the son of God, in the Christian tradition. But whatever your faith, you can appreciate the role of the angels, who are simply there to bring praise and positivity and love into the world. From this song, we learn about their joy-bringing nature.

As you listen, dwell on this positivity, on the ability of angels to bring forth messages of hope and goodness, encouraging all to celebrate in unity. It’s exactly this sort of protection that we all need right now.
