Songs that Help us Remember Christmas

Here we come a-caroling
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wand’ring,
So fair to be seen.

Yes, it is the season to be caroling, to find songs to help us celebrate. To make a joyful noise with each other. The fun, the jolly-ness. It’s good, isn’t it?  I just love singing good songs (and silly ones too) with loved ones. 

You know what else it is though?  It’s also the season to take time. To find songs to help us really remember Christmas, you know… the spiritual significance to the season. These songs help us remember that God made a promise, then kept it! God made a sacrifice so that we could be brought back to him.

Songs that Help us Remember Christmas

Songs that help us remember

Every year on my blog I blog about these songs. Sharing the lyrics, the author, and this year adding thoughts about the songs themselves.  I find this draws me more into considering the gift given. 

A child born, a promise kept.   One of my favourite songs.  I don’t know WHY I like this song so much, but I do.  🙂 

  • What Child is This
  • O Little Town of Bethlehem.
  • Silent Night.
  • Mary’s Boy Child. 
  • Hail to the Lord’s Anointed. 
  • Come thou, Long-expected Jesus. 
  • The Race that Long in Darkness Pined. 
  • Away in the Manger.

The news spread. Angels, shepherds, 

  • How Great our Joy. 
  • Angels from the realms of Glory. 
  • Hark the Herald Angels Sing.

  • Comfort, comfort Now His People. 
  • Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates.

What Songs help you remember Christmas?  Do you have favourites?  If so, what are they?

        Hi Annette, I came across a site the other day that made a good point about the phrase “some crying He makes”.
        I wish I knew what the site was, but I don’t. They said that since Jesus came to earth in human form, and we know that he felt all the feelings that we feel (hunger, thirst, pain, sadness), that most likely baby Jesus cried too, just like normal babies do. I don’t know if He cried or didn’t, but it is something to consider!

          i know, I always change the words to “Some crying he makes”. Babies cry, babies sleep, at some point in his life he cried. 🙂 Crying isn’t sinful is it?

    O Come All Ye Faithful is one of my favorites. We sang it in choir in high school as we processed into the auditorium each year for our Winter Concert. We started in Latin and then progressed into the verses in English.

    That is one of my favorite versions of Little Drummer Boy. I remember singing Away In Manger as a kid, it brings me back to my Christmas play days. As you said, when I listen to these songs I too listen to the messages promised and fulfilled by God. What an Awesome God we have!!
