Down with OCP!
Hear, hear!
Where is “O Holy NIght?” This is by far my favorite carol. I am humbled when listening to it.
BUMP!
Gesu Bambino
The Coventry Carol
The Huron Carol
Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella
I Wonder as I Wander
and Mary’s Boy Child. :)
That doesn't sound right. Why should a Catholic flee a Catholic country like France just because a Catholic Country like Scotland is revolting against England? And why should the fleeing Catholic go to a Protestant country like England?
Joy to the World is always sung as the closing hymn at funerals in my husband’s family.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
“Go Tell It On The Mountain” is a great gospel song we listened to growing up.
And in our Methodist Church we sing “ChristmasTide,” which is so beautiful and peaceful.
I love that!
Some of my favorite Hanukkah songs that didn’t quite make it.
“Oi To The World”
“Come On Baby Light My Menorah”
“Matzo Men” by The Lower East Side Village People
“Enough With The Jingle Bells Already”
“Deck The Halls With Balls Of Challah”
And my favorite: “Silent Night,.... I Should Be So Lucky”
What, no story about “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen”—!!
It’s really awesome to see when the carols were written and how they hold up through the years.
LOL! Balls of Challah!
Jesus was born a Savior On a starry winter's eve Born of the virgin, Mary Still there's some who don't believe All those who hated Jesus Nailed Him to a cross All those who truly loved Him Suffered their greatest loss When three days had come and gone Jesus came to say Do no cry for I am here Believe in Me and I'll be near Then the whole world will praise Him As they shout on bended knee, Jesus, you are my Savior You alone have set me freeThe kids love to sing this at Christmas time each year.
My favorite “Do you hear what I hear” did not make the list. UGH!!!!!!
roflol
You know, God Rest Ye Merry GentleFOLKS is not in the running because just maybe it refers to White Men, don’tcha know? And you have to change it to Gentle People or Folks or something, and then the rhythm is off./s
