I’m stealing this idea from Ellen:
Below are 10 lines from 2nd/3rd/4th verses of Christmas carols as well as some that are kind of not so well known. The first one to give me all 10 wins a prize!
01.) When with the ever-circling years shall come the time foretold
02.) And thus that manger poor became a throne; for he whom Mary bore was God the Son.
03.) The sky shall groan and darken, and every stone shall cry.
04.) Come adore on bended knee Christ the Lord, the newborn king!
05.) And offered there in his presence their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense.
06.) He hath opened heaven’s door and man is blessÃ?d evermore.
07.) For this how wondrously he wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place…
08.) Within my heart, that it may be a quiet chamber kept for thee.
09.) We too will thither bend our joyful footsteps.
10.) He comes to make his blessings flow far as the curse is found.
Have fun!
Here are my guesses… but I really think I’ve messed up number three. Thanks!
1. It came upon the midnight clear
2. Till He Come
3. Natal Hymn (I think… I remember a poem by wilbur on this one)
4. Angels from the Realms
5. The First Noel
6. Good Christian(s) Men/Folk/All Rejoice *grin*
7. From East to West
8. From Heaven above to earth I come
9. O Come all ye faithful
10. Joy to the World
you got 9 of 10.
I thought I was the ultimate Christmas carol queen – but looking at the list posted above me, I don’t even recognize 4 of those songs. I guess Baptist and Lutheran traditions are just different enough that I’ve not heard some of them.
Lots of fun.
no… most of these are pretty normal — they’re just the latter verses that don’t get played endlessly in the malls.
To tired to think…
Here’s the ones I know…
1. I came upon a midnight clear
4. Angels From the Realms Of Glory
10. Joy to the world.
Because Jen forced me up from my nap… I give my guesses.
1. It Came Upon a Midnight Clear
2. The Snow Lay on the Ground
3. Natal Hymn
4. Angels From The Realms of Glory
5. The First Noel
6. Good Christian Men Rejoice
7. From East to West, from Shore to Shore
8. Ah, Dearest Jesus
9. O Come, All Ye Faithful
10. Joy to the World
you got 8 of 10 but you also cheated and used google!
