Pastor Eric Christmas Stories Day 9!

Today we look at a beloved and very old song, "Angels We Have Heard On High"!  It is perhaps the oldest of the Christmas carols, and contains much of Luke's theology from the angelic visitation to the shepherds keeping watch over their flock by night.

While our LBW version only has three stanzas, the older versions had 8 stanzas with a back and forth singing and questioning between the shepherds and the women.  It's fascinating to hear about the history of this marvelous hymn and I hope it bring a spirit of hope to your hearts!

And here's the beautiful hymn sung by Sarah Mclachlan.  Enjoy and sing along!
