Sweet hymns of joy....

I love the beauty of old hymns.
As much as I enjoy much of the modern worship songs of today, seldom do they match the eloquence of the hymns of long ago.
Christmas carols are no exception.

Having grown up singing these songs and taking the beauty of the words for granted I sang them with a lack of conscious reverence. Recently I have tried to truly meditate on them---maybe print the lyrics & just ponder them for a quiet time of reflection. Here are a few of my personal favorites...

Truly He taught us to love one another

His law is love and His gospel is peace

chains shall he break for the slave is our brother

& in His name all oppression shall cease

sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we
let all within us praise His holy name.

~~

A thrill of hope

the weary world rejoices

for yonder breaks a new & glorious morn

fall on your knees

Oh hear the angel voices

O night divine

O night when Christ was born

~~

Oh Jesus forever by Thy name adored

Word of the Father

now in flesh appearing

O come let us adore Him

~~

I want to extend a warm note of gratitude to Kim for featuring me on Today's Creative Blog. She is has such an encouraging spirit, always full of wonderful sweet words for those whom she chooses to feature. Having a blog is such a great outlet for me. It allows me to creatively journal our life & my simple thoughts for my girls. I am equally blessed by the kindred spirits with whom I have been fortunate to connect.
