By Request, ‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’

Somebody else usually requests this hymn, but this year Patty beat him to it. And after all, when your wife requests a hymn, you ought to post it.

Good Christian Men Rejoice, an old-fashioned carol , performed by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers–and let’s have some carol contest entries, okay?

‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’

Don’t worry, I’m not entering my own contest. We got five entries yesterday and I guess I should’ve saved a couple of them for this morning. But we won’t run out of Christmas carols.

Here’s a good old-fashioned one: Good Christian Men Rejoice, by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers.

‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’

Huh! No entries yet this morning in our Christmas Carol Contest. I’ll have to put up a hymn myself.

Good Christian Men Rejoice,  by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers–has a nice old-fashioned feel to it, doesn’t it?

Yo! If you haven’t entered the contest yet, c’mon, join us! All you have to do is make your request anywhere on the blog: just leave it as a comment.

By Request, ‘The Holly and the Ivy’

Requested by Phoebe, today’s first entry in our Christmas Carol Contest–The Holly and the Ivy, by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers. (I was sure she was going to ask for Joy to the World. My whole schedule is thrown off now.)

Yes, we have more entries!

By Request, ‘Mary Had a Baby (My Lord)’

Coming down the stretch in our Christmas carol contest, we have this entry by Phoebe: Mary Had a Baby (My Lord), by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers.

Who will win the contest? Whoever posts the carol that gets the most views on the day it was requested. And the winner gets an autographed book. It was the best I could do be way of a prize, once King Tut’s golden mask was taken off the table.

By Request, ‘How Unto Bethlehem This Pilgrimage of Kings’

Here’s a beautiful carol that I’d never heard before.

Requested by Phoebe: How Unto Bethlehem This Pilgrimage of Kings, by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers.

‘Good Christian Men Rejoice’

We don’t have any new entries yet today in our Second Annual Christmas Carol Contest, so let me offer this–Good Christian Men Rejoice, by the Robert Shaw Chamber Singers. Don’t worry, I’m not entering my own contest. Just hoping some of you who haven’t entered yet will come on board.
