What Will You Sing Tonight?

Christmas music has some of the best theology that you could ever sing.  Sometimes I am stopped in my tracks and moved with emotion when contemplating the realities that we sing about in our Christmas music.

Walt Mueller shares his favorite lines from different Christmas songs.  I couldn't agree more with his favorites:
"...He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food."
- Let All Mortal Flesh

"...come to earth to taste our sadness, He whose glories knew no end."
- Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

"...the hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight."
- O Little Town of Bethlehem

"...pleased as man with men to dwell, Jesus our Emmanuel."
- Hark the Herald Angels Sing

And my favorite. . .
"...He comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found."
- Joy To The World
