Excuse me while I wipe away a couple tears. The beauty of this carol, the beauty of Christmas, is not something to be taken stoically.
Requested by Phoebe: Silent Night, sung by the Yoder Family.
(These last two carols are a little late–but I trust they can never be too late.)
We have a hymn request from Erlene–O Little Town of Bethlehem, sung by the Yoder Family.
BTW, our carol contest is totally open. Enter as often as you like; and if a carol has already been suggested, please feel from to ask for it again.
I promised a while ago to run Christmas and Easter hymns throughout the year–so here’s an Easter hymn: Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, sung by the Yoder Family. Glorious background sets by God the Father, our Creator.
To me this hymn is indispensable to any celebration of Easter–Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, by Charles Wesley–sung here by the Yoder Family. Written in the 18th century and still going strong!
Happy Easter, everybody. Christ is risen indeed.
It’s still the Christmas season here!
Requested by Phoebe: O Come All Ye Faithful, sung by the Yoder Family. Background sets by God the Father.
I wish our camera worked so I could show you our Christmas tree.
All right–let’s post all four Christmas carols and see what happens to the viewer numbers. Let’s post ’em all and see if it can get us into the spirit!
Requested by SlimJim–Angels We Have Heard on High, sung by the Yoder Family. And if you’re not moved by the Lord’s background sets, maybe you’d better check if you can fog a mirror.
I might’ve posted this not so long ago, but I can’t help it–I can’t resist the hymn itself and the gorgeous background scenery, the Lord’s handiwork.
Requested by Katheleen: Silent Night, sung by the Yoder Family. I’ve been hearing this carol all my life, and it’s never lost its luster.
It’s the only Carol Contest entry we have so far today, but it’s a nice one–Silent Night, sung by the Yoder Family, requested by Phoebe. We really couldn’t have Christmas without Silent Night, could we? (Well, of course we could! But you know what I mean.)
I learned this hymn in a public school, back when hymns were still allowed.
Requested by Phoebe–O Come, O Come, Emmanuel, a 12th century hymn, sung by the Yoder Family (couldn’t re-unite our Grade 7 chorus).
Should I post any more carols today, or hold them back for tomorrow?
Requested by SlimJim, this glorious Easter hymn by Charles Wesley–Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, sung by the Yoder Family. Nothing beats a churchful of congregants, and a choir, singing this on a sunny Easter morning!
