It’s taken me all morning to get this hymn posted: to paraphrase Caligula, my computer is revolting.
David Archuleta goes to town on this ancient Burgundian Christmas carol, Pat-a-Pan–one of my favorites.
The Christmas Carol Contest is still being led by a hymn with 20 views on Day 1. But dig this: with thousands of carols to choose from, two readers, in two different countries, asked for the same performance of the same hymn, just minutes apart. How about that!
You don’t hear many Christmas carols in August. I stumbled over this one this morning, and couldn’t resist posting it–the old Burgundian carol, Pat-a-Pan, performed by David Archuleta… with the first verse sung in the original Burgundian French. How often do you get to hear that?
When I played this, it stirred my soul. Not that I call for every day to be Christmas: that would quickly ruin it. But it’s a good thing to remember, every day, that Jesus Christ Our Savior, Jesus Christ Our King, has indeed come in the flesh, come right into this fallen world of ours–and will surely come again.
In fact, He is already here with us, every day.
