Christmas Carols...Which ones do you love and why?
EllaGrace replied to turtletwo's topic in General Discussion
A stable lamp is lighted whose glow shall fill the sky. The stars shall bend their voices and every stone shall cry! And every stone shall cry! And straw like gold shall shine. A barn shall harbor heaven, a stall become a shrine! -

Come Thou long expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free! From our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in Thee. Israel's strength and consolation, Hope of all the earth Thou art! Dear desire of every nation. Joy of every longing heart! Come Thou long expected Jesus, another advent hymn, but I tend to roll Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany music all together. -

I love this song and I read the O Antiphons every year December 17-24. One for each day. -

Savior of the Nations Come is really an advent hymn. But I love it. 1.Savior of the nations, come, Virgin's Son, make here Thy home! Marvel now, O heaven and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 2. Not by human flesh and blood, By the Spirit of our God, Was the Word of God made flesh-- Woman's Offspring, pure and fresh. 3. Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child Of the Virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, Still to be in heaven enthroned. 4. From the Father forth He came And returneth to the same, Captive leading death and hell-- High the song of triumph swell! 5. Thou, the Father's only Son, Hast o'er sin the victory won. Boundless shall Thy kingdom be; When shall we its glories see? 6. Brightly doth Thy manger shine, Glorious is its light divine. Let not sin o'ercloud this light; Ever be our faith thus bright. 7. Praise to God the Father sing, Praise to God the Son, our King, Praise to God the Spirit be Ever and eternally. -

Hark the Herald Angels Sing. I'm especially fond of verse 2. Christ by highest heaven adored. Christ the everlasting Lord. Late in time behold Him come. Offspring of a virgins womb. Veiled in flesh the Godhead see. Hail the incarnate Deity. Pleased as man with men to dwell. Jesus our Emmanuel. Hark the herald angels sing. Glory to the newborn King! -
Something I need to seriously remember right now. Hope it encourages others too.

This is a great thing to remember in the "Prayer Request" threads also. Thanks for sharing this turtletwo! I will say a prayer for your friend. I'm sorry she went through that. -

anxiety and struggling with reading the bible...
EllaGrace replied to Figure of eighty's topic in General Discussion
This is a fantastic idea! Listening to the Bible to get yourself to sleep. -
Ruth definitely, because she's so loyal and faithful. Maybe Noah would be the male favorite because he saw nothing happening to create a flood but trusted God that a flood was coming anyway.
