Oh Come all Ye Faithful
Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant,
oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem…
I love Christmas carols especially the old hymns that we sang in church when I was growing up. Somehow, when the musicians started playing and the choir began singing you “felt” Christmas. The words of the songs brought to life the true meaning of the Christmas season. They lifted your spirits and took you on a journey… a journey to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels;
Somehow in these moments when you lose yourself in the words of the songs and allow them to minister to your heart nothing else matters. It doesn’t matter if the house isn’t perfectly cleaned, the Christmas tree doesn’t have very many gifts or the table isn’t as lavishly spread as in years gone by. What matters is the one whom the season is all about.
Yea, Lord, we greet thee, born this happy morning,
Jesus, to thee be all glory given.
Word of the Father, now in flesh appearing:
Old Christmas carols such as Oh Come all Ye Faithful, Hark the Herald Angel Sing, Joy to the World and others like the remind me that the Christmas season, is not about me! It’s all about Him, Jesus Christ, the one who left the comfort of heaven to come to earth just because we needed a savior.
O come, let us adore him,
O come, let us adore him,
O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
Thank you Heavenly Father, for the gift of your precious son, the gift that keeps on giving, the gift that I keep falling in love with over and over again.
I love the old Christmas carols too! The words are rich in meaning. I still haven’t put up my tree but I’m in the Christmas spirit listening to songs like this one and meditating on God’s Word.
Merry Christmas to you and your family Bernadine!
Blessings and love,
Debbie
Yes, I keep falling in love with Jesus, over, and over.
Amen to that! I too like the old hymns; they were full of teaching us the Reason for the season.
Merry Christmas, Bernadine.
I just love the Christmas Carols. What a great reminder of what joy a baby in a manger brought to us. Merry Christmas my friend!
