I usually save this for Christmas-time, but I think I need it today. Maybe some of you do, too.
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach–performed by the New London Symphony Orchestra in 1961, Leopold Stokowski conducting.
I’m awfully tired today, but this should help.
I’ve been here all afternoon wandering around in the nooze, trying to find at least one more item that I ought to post. And my decision, at least for today, is “the hell with all of it.” Go with another hymn instead. Our souls will benefit.
So here’s the New London Symphony Orchestra performing Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach.
The other stuff can hold off till tomorrow. We need some time with Jesus.
No Christmas hymns entered in our contest today, so I have to provide one: Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach; performed by the London Symphony Orchestra in 1961, Leopold Stokowski conducting.
[Reader comments made yesterday have left me not knowing what to say or do. I have tried to make this blog a haven for all Christians, for anyone who needs a bit of shelter from the storm. And what do you do when your friends fight? When someone does something he’s convinced is for the best, and yet it turns out badly?
I’m praying over this, and I need all the prayers that I can get.]
We usually hear this around Christmas-time, sometimes at Easter; but it’s good for any time and place–Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach. This performance is by the New London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Leopold Stakowski.
No hymn requests this morning, so I’m on my own.

We usually hear this around Christmastime, but it’s good all year.
Requested by Phoebe: O Sacred Head Surrounded–sung by Passion Chorale, music by J.S. Bach.
Would you believe we sang this in seventh grade–in a public school?
(I wasn’t going to put up six posts today; but I always try to fulfill hymn requests.)
I meant to save this one for Christmas, but then Christmas came along and I forgot it–too many plates to juggle.
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach, performed by the New London Symphony Orchestra–good for any day of the year.
Nothing yet for our Christmas Carol Contest today, so I’m on my own.
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, by Johann Sebastian Bach–not per se a Christmas hymn, but this seems usually to be the time of year for it. Performed by the New London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski.
I usually save this hymn for Christmas-time; but Erlene planted the suggestion in my head this morning, so here it is–Jesu, Joy of Men’s Desiring, by J.S. Bach, performed by the New London Symphony Orchestra.
I was whistling this to myself one day, on my way into the Y, when a passerby stopped and said, “That’s so beautiful! What’s it called?” So I told him. Surely among the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
There’s hardly anyone here this morning. Well, look at the weather. Maybe everybody just went back to bed. Wish I could.
But! Maybe one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed will get the ball rolling, and some entries submitted to our carol contest: Jesus, Joy of Men’s Desiring by Johann Sebastian Bach, sung by the Edinburgh Singers.
