Here’s another one I was in danger of forgetting, a real treasure of a hymn for Christmas-time: Masters in This Hall, performed by the Robert Shaw Chorale.
Thank you, Phoebe, for requesting it. I’d have hated to leave it out of our Christmas celebration.
(It’s cold, it’s supposed to snow, and I would dearly love to go back to bed…)
No one requested this Christmas hymn in our carol contest–Masters in This Hall, by the Robert Shaw Chorale. Ah, well–we’ll run out of readers before we run out of hymns.
Phoebe has nominated Masters in This Hall for our Christmas Carol Contest, and I probably should’ve held it over till tomorrow but–well, I didn’t want to wait. We don’t get to hear this one very often.
Sung by the Robert Shaw Chorale.
It’s not too often that anyone requests this, but I’m in the mood for another Christmas carol and this is the first one that popped into my head: Masters in This Hall, written around 1860 by William Morris and set to an old French dance tune.
And now I have to get that Newswithviews column written! Deadline draws near.
I had only heard this carol once, years ago, but I never forgot it. Thank you, Phoebe, for entering it in our carol contest–Masters in This Hall, sung by the Robert Shaw Chorale. (I seem to have missed the one with the CC button for lyrics, but this one is too nice to get rid of.)
It’s been years since I’ve heard this glorious old-fashioned Christmas hymn, Masters in This Hall, sung by the Robert Shaw Chorale. Thank you, Phoebe, for requesting it. Now let me see if I can find the lyrics.
