I love the rich, beautiful lines found in familiar Christmas carols. We hear these songs everywhere during the holiday season - in elevators, in department stores, on TV, on the radio - but do we really hear the words? Usually, I don't! But when you sit back and meditate on them, they are pretty amazing. Oh to write some words like these!
What are your favorite carols or your favorite lines? Here are some of mine....
"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.
- "Joy to the World"
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary soul rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
- "O Holy Night"
So bring Him incense, gold and myrrh,
Come peasant, king to own Him;
The King of kings salvation brings,
Let loving hearts enthrone Him.
- "What Child is This"
