A new music book of classic carols and Christmas songs Christmas has a special place in Christian worship. The first coming of Christ is the great revelatory event in salvation history and has always moved Christians to sing the praises of Christ. This new music book from Praise Trust aims to give churches a trusted and diverse collection of carols, advent hymns and modern songs to enrich their worship. Within this collection you will find the essential classics, such as Hark! the herald angels sing and Silent night, as well as more traditional carols such as Good Christians all, rejoice and On Christmas night all Christians sing. We have reworked the words of O holy night to enrich the theme of redemption, and a few traditional items have a transforming new tune, some written specially for this book. As well as many modern items that are well known, we have included recent discoveries such as Comfort and joy, Welcome home and O come, all you unfaithful. Several items are best suited as performance pieces for a church singing group in a carol service. We have also included several children’s songs with Christmas family services in mind. Many items in this book are also matched by further musical content that is downloadable from website, praise.org.uk. 224 pages, Spiral Bound Contents Angels from the realms of glory As with gladness Away in a manger (Cradle song) Away in a manger (Woods) Beyond the hills of Bethlehem Child in a manger born Christians awake!
