By Request, ‘Masters in This Hall’
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.
By Request, ‘Son of God’
Sorry, no nooze today. I invited readers to request it, but got no takers. So we’re doing Christmas songs and a little bit of other stuff.
Requested by Phoebe: Son of God, by Michael W. Smith
(I think I have time to have a cigar…)
By Request, ‘What Child Is This?’
Requested by Phoebe: What Child Is This?, sung by Chris Tomlin. So many lovely versions of it! This is one of them.

And now it’s time for root beer and a movie… ’cause I’m running out of gas.
By Request, ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’
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, ‘Hark! The Herald Angels Sing’
Wow! This blew me away. I’ve got to wipe my eyes.
Requested by SemperSoloDeoGloria, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, sung by Amy Grant Just beautiful: I’m sure the LORD is pleased.
By Request, ‘Go Tell It On the Mountain’
Requested by Phoebe, Go Tell It On the Mountain–and do I really need to introduce Mahalia Jackson? Take one step backward if you haven’t heard of her!
By Request, ‘Mary, Did You Know?’
I got a couple of requests for this hymn today. Well, first come, first served. This one, requested by “Someone” (which “Someone” is that? Is everybody getting bashful? Performed by Pentatonix.
