A Christmas Carol

This time if year we some of the most amazing, beautiful, deep, and wondrous songs about our Lord. Christmas carols are some of the songs in the Christian faith, that have the riches theology and truth in them. This week, I want to highlight 5 songs that we sing this time of year. I want to highlight these songs for the deep truths that they teach us. I want to point to these songs for the wonder of the incarnation that they tell. I want to point out these 5 songs becasue we should not just sing them this time of the year and move on. We sing in the life of the church, to teach others what we believe, reminder ourselves of what we know, and worship God through public reflection. I hope and pray as we read through each of these songs this week, that we come to grasps with the majesty of our incarnate Lord. 

Go Tell It On the Mountain
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

When I am a seeker,
I seek both night and day;
I seek the Lord to help me,
And He shows me the way:
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
