Christmas Songs

The year of 2025 has rolled around to another Christmas. I like to think that I have used my gifts wisely- by that I mean, the gifts God bestowed. However, this morning, I am looking forward to a great Christmas Eve service at our church tomorrow with lots of beautiful Christmas singing. I so love all kinds of Christmas songs. 

Songs of Christmas

At Christmas, 

we sing the “Joy to the World” song,

‘Cause Jesus ascended from His heavenly throng.

Heaven and nature truly sing to receive our King!

We sing “Away in a Manger” to celebrate

Jesus’s earthly birth date,

and, in wonder, consider how the stars looked down on the hay

where Baby Jesus lay.

At Christmas, 

we sing “Silent Night”

and think of the star that shown so bright,

announcing Jesus’s holy birth upon the earth.

We sing, 

“Mary, Did You Know?”

for Jesus came, salvation, to bestow and are awed 

by how Mary kissed her Baby Boy, the very face of God.

We sing, 

“Go Tell It On The Mountain,” 

for Jesus Christ was born to be our Living Fountain.

We rejoice and sing it “over the hills and everywhere,”

putting the spirit of Christmas in the air.

We sing other happy songs, like: 

“Jingle Bells” 

which nowhere mentions Jesus, 

but, oh what fun, as “over the hills we go”, to have Jesus’s story to tell.

We sing, 

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,”

‘cause there’s mistletoeing, hearts glowing, and loved ones near.

But, then, Jesus came Christmas morn to be near and dear.

This truly made Christmas “the most wonderful time of the year.” 

At Christmas, 

We sing happy and joyful songs, Jesus’s love to share;

of how He came as a lowly baby, our sins to bear.  

We sing because Jesus came, 

and established His Holy name.
