Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth deface.
O tidings,
Darn, I cannot watch it. They want me to turn off my VPN or allow cross-tracking cookies, or...sign in. Won’t do any of them.
I do like that song, one of my favorites. I have always enjoyed a hearty version sung with gusto.
I miss caroling. When I was young, I remember actually caroling around our neighborhood. Different times.
A very Merry Christmas you you, Berlin_Freeper. Best to you and yours, and thank you for posting this.
Casting Crowns - I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day Live
My eyes are welling up....this song has always been a comfort.
I’ve heard there have been different interpretations of the lyrics, based on whether it reads :
God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, with the comma after Merry, or
God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen, with the comma before Merry.
And it’s punctuated correctly, too.
