This was the first hymn that came into my head this morning, so that’s why it’s here–How Firm a Foundation, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. We used to sing it to the tune of O Come All Ye Faithful, in the old Dutch Reformed Church.
Oh, the sun on our Christmas tree ornaments this morning! I wish you could see it.
Viewership’s way down, it’s raining cats and dogs–such fun, with our morning errands!–and this hymn has been on my mind all day so far, so I reckon I ought to post it, that the Lord wants me to…
How Firm a Foundation, sung by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band–the old-fashioned way.
It was “Thewhiterabbit’s” birthday the other day, and he expressed a desire to hear more Christmas carols sung by Maddy Prior. Well, Dave, here’s one of the best!
The Sussex Carol, performed the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
And hey, everybody! None of the carols you’ve requested has broken the 30-view barrier (that’d be 30 views on the day it was posted). We need our Christmas spirit! Personally, I don’t think I’ve ever needed it more. Let’s keep sharing carols, shall we?
I don’t know why it took so long for this old favorite to be nominated, but Phoebe came through for us yesterday–God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
We still don’t have any carol in the carol contest that got 30 views on the day it was requested–and still plenty of classics that we haven’t heard yet. Let’s get that Christmas spirit rolling!
Is this carol beautiful, or what? I love it–and nobody out there ever asks for it, I guess it’s not well-known… so I post it myself. Not trying to win my own carol contest: just sharing a gorgeous piece of old-fashioned worship music:

I am sure we used to sing this, in our church, to the “Adeste Fideles” (“O Come All Ye Faithful”) melody in our church. Ah, well, it’s good this way, too–

*Sigh* I’m stuck with a doctor’s appointment this morning. But I’ve found time to post a hymn: one of the good old Charles Wesley hymns, performed the old-fashioned way by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. I do love that 18th century sound.
I sort of accidentally posted this hymn this morning–To Be a Pilgrim, by John Bunyan, performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band. I decided it wasn’t the kind of mistake I needed to correct. Maybe the Lord picked a hymn for us today.
I don’t know how many times I’ve posted this hymn, and I hope you don’t mind hearing it again. I felt a need for it today. This world needs the light of Jesus Christ: nothing else can lift the darkness.
Light of the World, by Charles Wesley; performed by Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band.
I don’t know if anyone will see this, I don’t know if anyone will be able to comment on it, I don’t know if this blog will still exist by suppertime today–
But here’s Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band with John Bunyan’s hymn, To Be a Pilgrim.
