My kids and I were looking through a box of my grandpa’s stuff, and we found a book of Christmas hymns called “Well-Beloved Christmas Hymns”. And the only one of all 25 or so hymns I had even heard before was Bring a Torch Jeanette Isabella, and that one I’m only familiar with because one of my friends made a mashup of it, and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. That’s a song I’ve never heard on popular radio, and it is a fantastic song. The hymns in that book were all lovely, some better than others, obviously, but all about Christ Our Savior. This is what they took from us.
The best way to fight the subversion is to ignore it and replace it.
I’m not really a Christmas carol guy, as my preferred holiday music is Handel’s THE MESSIAH, but I have produced a new remix of THIS VERY NIGHT which is on UATV, and those who are not UATV subscribers can hear at Sigma Game.
