Christmas By Song

O Come All Ye Faithful (Adeste Fideles)

This section takes an individual Christmas song and then provides you with as many different artists performing it for you to enjoy.

We will not be playing all the artists and versions that we have. We don't have the space, but we feel you'll get enough variations to enjoy yourself.

Background Information: The Englishman, John Francis Wade, wrote both the words and the music, Adeste Fideles. The Musical score was first published in 1782 in Samuel Webbe's An Essay on the Church Plain Chant in 1782. John Francis Wade first included it in his own 1751 publication of Cantus Diversi. The lyrics were first published in 1760.
 

If you hear someone using tissues, it's MoJo. This song has watery effects.

To our British and Aussie allies, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Children's Christmas Music From Around The World

The music below is safe for all kids! We have Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa songs from kids around the world!
All of the music is geared specifically for children.

Warning: This section mentions Jesus quite a lot. Just so no one writes MoJo to tell her that there's too much Jesus and why I chose to do so.

Answer: CAUSE I CAN!

Christmas By Song

Hark! The Herald Angel Sings

Background Info:

Felix Medelssohn and Chuck Wesley  

Charles Wesley (his brother, John Wesley, founded the Methodist church) is credited with authoring over 3,000 hymns. The lyrics to Hark! The Herald Angels Sing (1739) is one of them. Actually, what he wrote is "Hark how all the welkin rings/Glory to the King of Kings." ("Welkin" means, apparently, "heaven".)  A colleague, the Calvinist Whitfield, substituted the familiar opening line over the protests of the author. Thank welkin for Whitfield.

Christmas By Song

Joy To The World

Background Info: Joy to the World
The words and lyrics of the old Christmas carol 'Joy to the World' were written in 1719 by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The father of John Watts was a Non-conformist and so extreme were his views that he was imprisoned twice. His father's influence over Isaac was demonstrated when he choose to attend Non­conformist Academy at Stoke Newington in preference to a University. Watts was ordained as a Pastor of an Independent congregation. He wrote many hymns and Carols and was awarded a Doctor of Divinity degree by the the University of Edinburgh in 1728. The music to the carol is by George Frederick Handel (1685-1759).

MoJo Thought:
Have you ever noticed while reading articles that when referring to GOD that many folks decide to write it *G-D*? What is that? Is it supposed to mean that it is less potent and offensive by keeping the *o* from appearing? My suggestion to these folks isn't to use God at all. If you can't add the *o*, don't write it. This is true for those of you that believe or don't.

Psa 27:6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

Isa 63:7 I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, [and] the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

To: La Enchiladita; All
Stay with me, God. The night is dark
The night is cold. My little spark
Of courage dies. The night is long
Be with me, God, and make me strong
I love a game. I love a fight
I hate the dark. I love the light
I love my child. I love my wife
I am no coward. I love life

Life with its change of mood and shade
I want to live. I'm not afraid
But me and mine are hard to part
Oh, unknown God, lift up my heart

You stilled the waters at Dunkirk
And saved Your Servants. All Your work
Is wonderful, dear God. You strode
Before us down that dreadful road

We were alone and hope had fled
We loved our country and our dead
And could not shame them so we stayed
The course and were not much afraid

Dear God that nightmare road! And then
That sea! We got there - we were men
My eyes were blind, my feet were torn
My soul sang like a bird at dawn!

I know that death is but a door
I know what we are fighting for
Peace for the kids. Our brothers freed
A kinder world. A cleaner breed

I'm but the son my mother bore
A simple man and nothing more
But God of strength and gentleness
Be pleased to make me nothing less

Help me O God, when Death is near
To mock the haggard face of fear
That when I fall - if fall I must -
My soul may triumph in the dust.


**********

On Remembrance Day this year (which Americans refer to as Veterans Day, I believe), I posted the above in the forum. Somebody yesterday suggested I should post it here.

And I do so in tribute to the dead of my own nation, and of its allies, including especially the United States who are doing the heavy lifting in this current war.

I do not know the origins of this prayer, though it seems to date from World War II by its reference to Dunkirk. All I know is that my father carried it with him during his war service, and I hope that it was of help to him when he fell.

Later I carried it with me in the Gulf, and I know that it was a comfort to me then.

Low Rider Lyrics

All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
Low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer
Low rider knows every street yeah!
Low rider is the one to meet yeah!
Low rider don't use no gas now
Low rider don't drive to fast
Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip
Take a little trip
Take a little trip with me
