Look at that–no Christmas hymn requests today, no carol contest entries. Guess I’d better provide one myself.
This is the English melody that goes with Away in a Manger, sung here by the King’s College Choir at Cambridge. Same hymn, different tune. Just as beautiful either way.
It’s a little late to start posting entries now, but tomorrow is another day.
I have lived in Metuchen, NJ, all my life. I have been married to my wife Patricia since 1977. I am a former newspaper editor and reporter. I was also the owner-operator of my own small business for several years. I wrote various novels and short stories published during 1980s and 1990s. I am a long-time student of judo and Japanese swordsmanship (kenjutsu). I also play chess, basketball, and military and sports simulations.

Here’s a request for tomorrow, my 71st birthday: “Magnificat” by Keith & Kristen Getty. I think few on this blog have ever heard it before – definitely worth a listen.

I love the verse that says “and love me, I pray.”

Happy birthday, Dave! First thing tomorrow, your request.
I hope you’ve got a nice cake lined up.

We will be celebrating at the Red Lobster, and I have a pound of Sees candy to share for dessert.
