CHRISTmas Music

[Godsgirl83]

Please no Santa Clause, Reindeer, Elves, Ho-Ho-Ho, "give me, give me, give me" "I want I want I want" music on this thread (we can make another for all the "fun" songs"
I'd like to make this thread a collection of music that ruely reflects the reason for this season, Christ birth.

^ ^ For those with a Celtic turn of taste in music

Let all that are to mirth inclined
Consider well and bear in mind
What our good God for us has done
In sending His beloved Son

For to redeem our souls from thrall
Christ is the saviour of us all.

The twenty-fifth day of December
We have good cause to remember
In Bethlehem upon that morn
There was a blessed Messiah born

But mark how all things came to pass
The inn and lodgings filled was
That they could find no room at all
But in a straw-filled oxes stall.

Near Bethlehem some shepherds keep
Their flocks and herds of feeding sheep
To whom God's angels did appear
Which put the shepherds in great fear

With thankful heart and joyful mind
The shepherds went this babe to find.
And as the heavenly angel told
They did our saviour Christ behold.

Three eastern wise men from afar,
Directed by a glorious star
Came boldly on and made no stay,
Until they came where Jesus lay.

And being come unto that place
Where the blessed Messiah was
They humbly laid before his feet
Their gifts of gold and incense sweet.

See how the Lord of heaven and earth
Shewd himself lowly in His birth;
A sweet example for mankind
To learn to bear an humble mind.

Let all your songs and praises be
Unto His heavenly majesty
And evermore amongst our mirth
Remember Christ our Saviour's birth.

Not a sacred song so much as just plain lovely in it's wintry way

This is a new one I just heard a few days ago. It's a reminder of how God continues to be faithful and good, even though we continually fall short. We have nothing to offer. We have nothing God needs. Yet His love for us is so great!!

I still love the old carols, and have been listening to some of those posted here in fact. As ive come to know some of the lyrics thru the years, i sometimes choose those w/ lyrics on videos to sing along w/, and just look on parts ive forgotten.

Some question the correctness of some lyrics, like in Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, wc tho not solely abt Christ, we hear around us, i just change a word or line when something seems to need that. 'Thru the years we all will be together if the fates allow," i sing "if the Lord allows.."
