How could I have forgotten to post this? Thank you, Phoebe, for requesting it: Nat King Cole sings O Little Town of Bethlehem. (Anybody got a tissue?)

By Request, ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’
At last, some hymn requests–entered into our Christmas Carol Contest.
Requested by Erlene: O Come All Ye Faithful–and I don’t think anyone’s going to do it better than Nat King Cole.
[P.S.–I got the tree lights up. Huff-puff-pant. Decorations tomorrow.]
By Request, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’
Requested by Ina: O Little Town of Bethlehem, sung by Nat King Cole.
I hope we get more entries in our Christmas Carol Contest. Lately it’s not been an easy time for this blog. Please pray for our fellowship.
By Request, ‘The First Noel’
I love to hear Nat King Cole sing Christmas carols.
Requested by Erlene, The First Noel, by Nat King Cole (and if you had some other hymn in mind, the error is my fault–but how wrong can we go with this?).
‘Hark the Herald Angels Sing’
I’m longing for Christmas this year, can’t come soon enough for me.
Meanwhile, here’s Nat King Cole and Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
God promises us peace and mercy.
From our worldly rulers we get neither.
By Request, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’
The carol contest continues–despite the fact that the judge can’t see the score.
Requested by Thewhiterabbit, O Little Town of Bethlehem–and we really can’t do better than Nat King Cole, can we? And some of those paintings are Thomas Kincaid’s work, if I don’t miss my guess.
By Request, ‘The First Noel’
I’m rattled, I need to calm down. We have a phone outage (can’t make long-distance calls), it’s raining again, I’ve got blog problems that I can’t solve (don’t ask!), the laundry service doubled its fee… eeyah!
So I’m posting a hymn requested by Phoebe, The First Noel, sung by Nat King Cole–
Ah, yes… that’s better.
‘I Saw Three Ships’ (Nat King Cole)
Hey, what happened to our carol contest? No entries this morning.
Let me post this, then–I Saw Three Ships (On Christmas Day), sung by Nat King Cole. This is one of my favorite Christmas carols, even if it’s not exactly a teaching tool (you can’t sail a ship to Bethlehem, it’s too far inland). There are a couple of grand versions of it on YouTube.
By Request, ‘Away in a Manger’
Do you feel it yet–the Christmas spirit? You know, I think I do! My soul is drinking in these carols.
Requested by Erlene–Away in a Manger, sung by Nat King Cole. This is the carol’s American melody. Next time I post it, I’ll use the British melody.
Come on, now, don’t be shy! There’s room in this contest for everybody.
By Request, ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful’
And we have this request from “Thewhiterabbit”–O Come, All Ye Faithful, sung by Nat King Cole. Was he a national treasure, or what?
There are already a couple more carols waiting to be posted… but I think I’ll break for breakfast first.
