I would agree. Given the time of year, I should note that the English-language version of "O, Holy Night" contains a verse that was quite topical when it was written, but reminds relevant in a larger sense even after the 13th Amendment:
Chains shall He break,
For the slave is our brother,
And in His name, all oppression shall cease.
A statement like this would be at the core of an Angel of Emancipation, whatever the time and place.
