"Why We Continue to Sing"
Eve of the Nativity.B.17
Luke 2:1-20
The Rev. Melanie McCarley
For many of us, the celebration of the birth of Christ would be indispensable without the singing of Christmas carols. Take, for example, the hymn with which we began this evening’s service: O Come All Ye Faithful”. It’s next to impossible not to take in the joy of the season when belting out lyrics such as these: “O come all ye faithful, Joyful and Triumphant! O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem!”
