Members Jordan Kurecki Posted December 18, 2017 Members Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) Ever since I was saved, I have found traditional Christmas carols (With the exception of Hark the Herald Angels Sing) to be pretty well.. shallow. Consider these two songs compared to most Christmas carols: Edited December 18, 2017 by Jordan Kurecki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members swathdiver Posted December 21, 2017 Members Share Posted December 21, 2017 I love them all, especially "O Holy Night" and enjoy an old recording by Bing Cosby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators HappyChristian Posted December 22, 2017 Administrators Share Posted December 22, 2017 To a certain extent, many of the carols could be classed as shallow. The angels didn't sing (Hark the Herald), we don't know how many wise men (We 3 Kings), was the night really silent (Silent Night)?, and so forth and so on. But there's no denying that they are fun to sing and to listen to. My personal favorite is Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Invicta Posted December 23, 2017 Members Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) Our preacher last Sunday chose "There was no room at Bethlehem" but our pianist didn't manage it too well, our reserve pianist was feeding her Baby at the time, The preacher said he didn't know it, but chose it because he liked the words.No one else seemed to know it, although I am sure we sang it last year or the year before. So we ended up reading the words. One verse says "But there was room at Calvary" There Was No Room in Bethlehem There was no room in Bethlehem for him who left his throne to seek the lost at countless cost and make their griefs his own: but there was room at Calvary upon a cross of shame for him to die, uplifted high, and bear the sinner's blame. There was no room in Bethlehem, and in the world today man will not give him room to live but bids him turn away; but there is room at Calvary, and there he stands to give a home to all who heed his call and look to him and live. There was no room in Bethlehem for Christ, the Prince of heaven come down to earth in human birth that man might be forgiven: but there is room at Calvary for sinners to abide, and all who come will find a home in Jesus crucified.

Members Invicta Posted December 23, 2017 Members Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have been told that you can sing that to O Little Town of Bethlehem. Much easier than the tune in our books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
